As you know, I post about PPA’s Print Competition from time to time (If you’re new to PPA Print Competition, check out my blog post, PPA Print Competition Basics). I think it’s a great way to challenge yourself as a photographer and artist. Besides, when you are inspired to do better work, you will create [...]
Sigma is holding a student scholarship contest… and I’m deviating from my normal “informative” posts to tell you about one of the students you should really, really, consider voting for. Grace Clark is the daughter of Erin Clark (one of my photographer friends I’ve met through PPA). She’s in the running for the scholarship, but [...]
On May 4th, 2010, I’m hosting “Advanced Outdoor Lighting Techniques,” taught by Jeff Dachowski of Dachowski Photography. The class will be limited to 10 students, and will provide plenty of hands-on learning. If you’re looking for a chance to learn outdoor lighting AND get a PPA merit, this is a chance you won’t want to [...]

So, did you make any resolutions for yourself? Did you break out the bubbly come midnight? Hopefully you’re able to remember all the fun you had! Well, I did make some resolutions, but according to a friend of mine, I started planning late. Word is, that you have to write down your goals and resolutions [...]
Yes, the best is always “yet to come” …but it doesn’t hurt to reminisce. For my last post of 2009, I decided to look through everything I’ve posted this year. Yup, I know I’m a day early, but I don’t care. So, here are a few of my “favorites” from 2009. Best Book Tough Times, [...]
Sometimes when your “to-do” list piles up, you might feel tempted to just get it done, and not care about the results. Maybe you’re even feeling crushed beneath the pressure. This comic reminds me of a quote I heard a while back. After a bit of searching, I was finally able to dig it up [...]
Happy Holidays! May you have a wonderful time of relaxation, family togetherness, and fun! Ahh, the joy of scheduled posts… I can considerately wish you a wonderful day while simultaneously spending time with my own family. Eat, drink, and be merry!
