OK, I know

Yes, my last post was back in September, but life in photoville is comparable to New York Times Square. I owe it to you, my customers. Even December was busy.
The other day, I had the pleasure of chatting with a friend photographer who's also busy and we were musing about how some in our industry are not able to get any assignments and what the reasons are. Here is a reason. Love what you do, love those you do it for, and first and foremost deliver better then possible image in the end. Some would argue that availability of inexpensive prosumer cameras is taking away from the pro studios. I now firmly believe that it doesn't. I think the awareness of what's possible with a camera has been going through rebirth of sorts. Cell phone photography, small point and shoot cameras, etc. All these technologies brought photography back into focus. So, while everyone is able to take a photo, few still have what it really takes to make an exceptional image and that's fine. I am not an accountant but I can balance my checkbook however if I need my taxes done, I do not hesitate to contact a professional because he or she can do it with a much better result. Of course, I could buy tax software and try to believe the hype of how easy it is to use, etc, but from past experience, I have learned that my results will be very different then when done professionally. SO, many of today's fly by night, OMG I just bought a camera and I am now a photographer photographers deliver the tax software results, and some of us can still give you what took years to learn and refine, a beautiful image that will last and please for generations to come.

Before I go, I have to throw in a sneak peek of something. In the next couple of weeks, I will be making a big announcement so stay tuned to the blog and be ready to cheer with me :-)
