Last Friday I mentioned one of our most favorite prints, Cranes in the Fire Mist.  Well, it’s a great story by Scott Bourne, my partner in the GoingPro Project and one of my very best friends.  So, often we all have a vision, an idea and then one day it’s gone. We’ve given up on [...]

There’s been a lot written about things you can do to build your business. I’ve written about it, we’ve written about it on GoingPro and recently I ran across this post on Photofocus by my good buddy, Scott Bourne.  We live in an instant fulfillment society with too many photographers wanting it all right now. Wanting [...]

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:

We founded GoingPro together, then PWSPI and he’s been a key part of Summer School starting with the very first program in 2009. At that time he had just 24,000 followers on Twitter. This week he [...]

Last week I wrote a post about shooting Neurochromes as it related to an image of my parents holding hands. Nicole Wolf followed up with a post and the trailer for a 28 minute film about her grandfather, “Smiles” Green. Then last night, while surfing through Photofocus, I ran across an old post from Scott Bourne. [...]

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 [...]
