I wrote this post a long time ago and even ran it as an encore once, but as time goes on it seems to get more relevant. So, I wanted to add a couple more images and while I don’t normally post on the weekends, today is Mother’s Day. I guess I’m writing it this [...]

Yesterday I got an email from Bob Bell at United Funding. I’ve never met Bob, nor do I have any kind of relationship with his company. I got the letter because I’m on the attendee list from last year’s Imaging USA show. What Bob didn’t know when he sent it out was how timely his [...]

On Veterans Day we were in Italy and totally missed it. When I was younger it was never a day I really even thought about, but as I get older I realize the number of people around me who make sacrifices every day that are far more important than anything I’m doing or working on.
I completely missed [...]

A short time back I wrote this post for GoingPro, but it’s so relevant. You’re capturing images all the time as a career path, but what about those moments when you’re not directly working with a client? Never be without a camera!
For some of you your cell phone will suffice, but for many, me included, my [...]

Last week, Scott Bourne ran a post on GoingPro for U.S. photographers that became the most widely read article since we started the project! It was all about buying gear, a vital component for every professional photographer. The post has such great information, I decided more photographers needed to read it and republished it here today.
In the twleve [...]

I’ve repeatedly been accused of being overly sappy when I talk about our industry being a “family”. There are so many times I’ve seen photographers and vendors work together for a common cause. With this event you’ve got TriCoast Photography with Mike and Cody, Bob Davis, Jordan Chan and Kevin Focht all teaching together, with [...]

It’s hard for me to remember a time when Tony Corbell wasn’t one of my very best friends! I know we met in 1987 and have worked together, traveled together and most important of all I can’t begin to count the number of times we’ve laughed together! He was working with the legendary Dean Collins [...]

Bambi Cantrell and I have written three books together and just this past winter she taught a workshop here in Ohio as part of the Akron Photo Series. Besides being a good buddy for a whole lot of years, there are few photographers as diverse as Bambi. As recently as five years ago her business was [...]

This is partly a rerun, but I promise it’s a good one. More important though is what prompted me this morning to run it!
At the end of last week I had to announce the cancellation of Julieanne Kost’s program as part of the Akron Photo Series on May 23 and 24. The challenge was simply getting enough [...]

Yesterday, Nick Vedros sent me the link to the video clip below from TED. This short presentation was given by Eli Pariser about the Internet. Over and over again I hear people talking about something they read on the Internet. It’s brought us all closer together, but to Eli’s point, it’s also hiding a lot [...]
