Pictage Ask and Learn - Today, Wednesday, Jan 28th!

Once again, I've been asked to participate in the Ask and Learn Wednesday on the Pictage Forum! All you Pictage photographers out there, please join me this evening as I answer your questions and hopefully provide a little advice on not only surviving, but thriving in today's tough economy.... hope to see you there !

As I continue featuring my new friends from the Mike Colon seminar, it seemed a logical progression to next feature Craig Davis as he is partnered with Andy Peterson. I admire Andy and Craig for their ability to work so well together. And long distance too....though Andy is in Austin, Craig's end of the business is based in Houston. I know how difficult it is sometimes to partner in a business, and to do it in different cities is quite the feat. Congrats, you two.

Mike Colon recently posted a comment on the blog that talked about the importance of time spent with one's family. In light of how busy the past couple of years have been for me, I couldn't agree more. Here's my response to his post:


"Quite true, Mike. Thanks for that. I saw you speak in NC last year and you mentioned that if you're working 15+ hours a day, you're doing it wrong. I paid close attention to that comment. Though I've always worked very hard at everything I've done, not until last year, when I didn't have any, did I realize the importance of time and spending it with the ones you love. Being owners of our own businesses, it's hard to stay out of the studio with so much work to be done (I couldn't help but notice how late your post was posted!), but your message is clear. I'm looking forward to seeing you again at your 4-day in a couple of weeks.

We only get one life...we're here for a good time, not a long time.
