Last week’s post about RETV with the Albert Watson interview got some great comments, one of them from good buddy, Terry Clark, who wrote:
“Before the Internet I read five newspapers in the morning plus thumbed thru a few magazines or books on photography. Yes, it took a bit of time, usually about 90 minutes, but what a [...]
Next week I’ll get things back to focusing on the “how to” aspect of photography, kicking off the week with a great guest post from Catherine Hall. However, for now I’m left with absolutely nothing pressing to write about this morning! That’s happened, at best, maybe three times in the last two years!
So that puts me in [...]
This morning the United States Department of Attitude released their annual report on professional photography. It’s incredible to see that things have completely turned around with the economy as well. Photography was listed as the most lucrative career field in the U.S. National advertising and promotional statistics showed photography as the only career choice where [...]
Today’s blog might sound like an infomercial, but there’s simply no excuse for holes in your skill set. There are websites, blogs and especially hands-on programming available, literally to EVERYBODY.
Akron Photo Series: I’m making it the first on the list, but it’s only because last week’s programming was pretty remarkable. We got Bambi Cantrell to the [...]
Okay, it’s an infommercial and I apologize, but you can’t blame me for being excited about this stuff! There are now four great programs in the pipeline and registration has been pretty amazing for all of them. The Akron Photo Series is bringing some great talent to the midwest and I’m hoping with these upcoming [...]
The full registration site for each of the programs should be live next week, but here’s an update on what’s happening to finally bring some great programming to the Midwest.
1) The Hilton Akron/Fairlawn is the new location for all events. It’s much more accessible, since it’s only a mile or so off route 77, making it a [...]
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about turning Akron into a hub for photographic education. I’m ecstatic to have been given the thumbs up to make an exclusive announcement: Clay Blackmore, one of the finest wedding and portrait photographers in the country, is bringing his new program to the John S. Knight Center in Akron on October [...]
A little over a year ago, frustrated with the economy and spending a lot of time talking to photographers who were finding new ways to “fight the battle”, I started my own campaign: Just because the media says it’s going to be a bad year, doesn’t mean it has to be!
Well, here we are a [...]
A few weeks ago Jasmine Star interviewed me for her blog. I couldn’t have been more flattered. One of the questions she asked just seems so appropriate this time of year. The question was, “How do you jump start a photography business?” It’s a great question and deserves to be expanded.
We’ve got to start with the [...]
I like to keep it light on Sundays…No, I don’t – I just like to keep it short and to the point. So, here it is for this beautiful Sunday morning.
I’m back down in Florida again dealing with some family health challenges with my folks. My Dad keeps telling me how he’s never seen me [...]
