Years ago, in fact so long ago that “Human Resources” in any corporation was still called “Personnel”, I was told by somebody at Polaroid, “moving is the second highest stress producing situation, second only to death of a loved one!” Having moved several times in my life, no matter how much I thought we had […]

I meet so many photographers who are working so hard to find success that if it walked through their front door right now they wouldn’t recognize it! Success isn’t something that just shows up on your desk one morning. It’s the result of a never-ending spirit to keep getting better and making yourself stronger. “Would […]

We all have that one drawer somewhere in our lives, might be a kitchen, a desk or a dresser, but it’s filled with treasures! It’s our own mini-version of an episode of “Hoarding” only in this case we’re hoarding memories. For me that drawer is in my desk and in the process of cleaning it […]

I’ve written about this topic on other blogs in the past, but there’s no such thing as writing too much about it. What triggered the thought today was coming home from Imaging USA thinking about the number of photographers I had a chance to talk with. I love the way this industry supports each other. […]

There’s been a lot of great discussions over the years on the advantages of a formal education in photography.
