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 [...]
In just under three weeks a whole bunch of us are going to show up in Vegas for three days of intense creativity, networking, solution solving and most important of all recharging our batteries before the fourth quarter!
If you’re still on the fence about going, it’s time to make the decision and join us! Here are [...]
There’s a great program on Monday night with Matthew Jordan Smith here in Akron at the John S Knight Center. Making it even better, there’s a special promotion running in the Akron Beacon Journal today only - use the word “Beacon” when you register and the cost for Monday night drops to around forty dollars after a [...]
Losing the last couple of weeks and finding things don’t always work the way they should created some serious problems, but remember there’s no such thing as a problem, only challenges.

I’ve been back living in Ohio for a year and can’t figure out why it’s so rare that any of the big names ever teach a program here. Akron is only a few hours drive from Michigan, Indiana and straight west is Pittsburgh, south is Columbus and north, 20 minutes, is Cleveland. Even Kentucky is only a [...]
This is my twelfth profile in the series with just three left to go – what a Summer School lineup this is for 2010! But, remember, if you’re only reading this because you want to find out more about who’s speaking at Summer School then you’re missing the point. Every one of these photographers should [...]
I just heard from the crew at Pictage there are only five seats left for the launch of Pictage U next week in San Diego. If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth checking out!
One of the truly fun things about social media is that very special social element.
