photography for doers and dreamers
Summing up an entire year is quite a task, so I won’t try to cover everything. Even Chris Brogran kept his summary minimalist and encouraged others to do the same. Planning for a new year is an equally large task, so I’ll focus on the highlights. Doing a bit of both is inspiring, powerful and [...]
Pin It It’s not by spending thousands of dollars on the latest gear and lighting equipment, according to Zack Arias who learned his lesson the hard way.

It’s true. I’m skipping school this year. Skip’s Summer School starts tomorrow with an all-star lineup of speakers, but sad to say my hubby and I won’t be there. It’s not for want, but for priorities. With two kids walking through major milestones on Monday into their first years in public elementary and high school, [...]

(Cue sad music.) There is something exciting, liberating, and also saddening about nearing [...]
When I taught junior high in the inner city, I took this phrase to a whole new level. Seriously, I found a monkey like the kind you see at circus acts or on the street. He’s pretty mild and cute until you press the “on” switch. Then he becomes this crazed screaming, cymbal crashing creature. [...]
Guest post by Steve Gallow, sharing his insights on successfully completing a year in photos.

In one form or another many of them stated that one of their goals [...]
It’s Day 200 of the tasra365 photography project that started with a challenge from Scott Bourne, photo guru and PhotoFocus blogger. What a wild ride it’s been, with more than 400 aspiring and professional photographers joining me on the journey. DAY 200 MILESTONE MOMENT The milestone of Day 200 had to be pretty incredible. I [...]
Today’s word of the day was… EDGY. Our home and studio were temporarily taken over by teen girls in preparation for our first Teen Identity Models photo shoot of 2010. The bedroom exploded in clothes and there was a full-on salon happening with hair, makeup, nails, and stylists getting everyone ready. We’re preparing to launch [...]
Yep, his fifth Christmas and he finally really got it…Santa comes down the chimney, eats milk and cookies, gives us presents and we get to open them. But don’t forget about the real Christmas story and prayer before opening presents. Or about the three presents Santa promised when Daddy called him since it was too [...]
