photography for doers and dreamers
He was the featured speaker at SPA (Senior Portrait Artists) earlier this year. I was already a fan from seeing his work online and in magazines. He also has tutorial videos and articles that just add to his appeal as a photography mentor. When he started his presentation, I was excited. I didn’t know how [...]
Want to see images in a new way? To develop a photographer’s eye? Or perhaps break out of a rut in your photography? Maybe you just need a kick in the seat of the pants to get you motivated again. Earlier this year, while attending and speaking at SPA, Senior Portrait Artists, I picked up [...]
As much as I love a good cup of Starbucks coffee, after reading enough nutrition books and watching a few documentaries, I realized it just wasn’t good for me. So while I refuse to give it up entirely, I decided to find an alternative that would work on a more regular basis. This is what [...]
Staying in the Hotel del Coronado this past week was a lesson in branding and business longevity. Realizing that my grandmother spent much of her teen years at The Del (as it is affectionately known) nearly eighty years ago makes you stop and think.

I haven’t quite figured out whether it’s the intense focus, having to be fully present, or a trained eye. Regardless of the why, I’m discovering that it’s a fact…and one I want to capitalize on.

Today I was walking on air, visiting the hometown of my grandmother more than 80 years ago. She lived in Coronado, California from the time she was six until she was 21…she’s 95 now. What an amazing feeling to walk down the streets my grandmother walked, to capture the same sunset she watched for fifteen [...]
Not much, maybe God, faith. In 2010, let’s not only say it, but let’s live it. Today I flew into San Diego for the SPA (Senior Portrait Artists) conference this week.
