THE EASIEST WAY TO GET PREVIOUS CLIENTS SELLING FOR YOU

THE PRICING SECRET YOU NEED TO KNOW
As I’m working with peeps one on one, I keep finding myself pointing out a simple truth that I’d love to share with all of you: your pricing is NOT forever. No matter which decision you make regarding pricing — $15 or $45 for that necklace, $100 or $150 for that session fee, $49 or [...]
TAKING A CHANCE ON JOY
I’m embarrassed to admit it, but one of the things I actually have to plan into my calendar is taking time to enjoy having reached a goal. (Tell me I’m not alone, here?) After much contemplation, I flew out to L.A. for RPL‘s Film is Not Dead book party to let myself enjoy having a [...]

INDIA, FILM, AND A FREEBIE.
India can only be processed in bits and chunks, I’ve found, so I’m sharing photos in bits and chunks as well. Behold, a day at the beach! All these images were shot in Mamalapuram on a Nikon F5 with a 35mm f/2 lens, using a combination of film I’d lugged a few thousand miles and [...]
