I wanted to share a short video today that's a little more private than my normal ones. It's certainly behind-the-scenes, but it's not meant to reveal anything special about photography.

HUGE thanks to everyone who played a role in pulling this project together - you know who...

Big thanks to everyone who weighed in on my offer for a free trip to ASMP's Strictly Business 2 conference in Chicago. 500 comments in just a handful of days.

I think the business part of professional photography is darn important. That's why I've decided to sponsor one person from this community to attend the ASMP Strictly Business 2 seminar in Chicago April 11-13 for FREE. What's that? You don't live in Chicago? No problem - got you covered. I'll even fly you there, round trip airfare from anywhere in the lower 48 States, and I'll put you up in the designated conference hotel for...

In a continuation of my recent themes of artistic vision and photo industry changes , this month's Wired (and column over at Wired.com), editor Chris Anderson is ranting about the topic of his new book: FREE.The entire article is well worth the read, but there's one thing in particular worth noting if you're a photographer or a musician, and that's his little diddy about "Zero Marginal Cost".

I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off for the past two weeks. In a good way. More energized artistically than I can remember in years. Brain is jumping, one concept to the next. Taking snapshots like mad. Lots of notes, scribbling. Shooting. Torn up magazines all over my desk, filling my briefcase. Compact flash cards everywhere. My computer desktop looks more like a minefield than a lean, binary machine. It...
