This weekend marks the end of summer and what most people in our industry tend to think of as the start of a new season in business-land.  The past couple weeks have been the typical up and down roller coaster of emotions [...]

It’s this guy’s birthday today!  I love him a lot, and for those of you out there who love him too…let him know.  Perhaps by embarrassing him on your blog?  Happy birthday to the best husband I’ve ever had!  You are very loved.

So, two cool things are happening today.  Number one is another conversation with yours truly that just went up on the Nymphoto blog.  I like this conversation/interview a lot.  It’s honest and an accurate take on my feelings on photography, both commercial and personal. [...]
