My four favorite words in the English language are the title of this post, followed closely by, “Mr. Gatty, you’ve been upgraded” and, “Of course you can fly business class.” In this case, I’ve been going around the house this morning shouting: “WHERE ARE WE GOING?” And answering myself: “ROME, BABY!” I’m afraid I’ve driven […]
Every year at this time, I work on updating web sites, bios, marketing, services — well, everything. And, every year at this time, I end up thinking about where we’ve been, where we are going, and what is our story. And, it dawned on me, most people don’t know our story. It used to be, […]
So, you want to be a professional event photographer. You think you’ve got what it takes, Buttercup? You’ve got the gear, you’ve got the style, you’ve got the technology — you’ve got the IT. Well, here’s a few things I’ve learned on the road. Have you ever seen the episode of Deadliest Catch where the […]
The last few blog postings, I started spewing off about customer loyalty: and mainly, how to keep customers and how to identify those clients that may be evil. I love that line: Evil Clients. I just do. It’s so empowering. Of course, I’m also sure those clients who read my blog probably HATE those words, […]
1979. The year still sends chills down my spine. 1979. I was learning to play the piano. It only took a year to learn Star Wars (no one knew then I was dyslexic). I tried my hand at magic — the show kind– at Barry’s Magic Shop. I was 11 years old. My sister’s science […]
A new year. Bright and shiny before us, holding hope and promise of taking the next step — pushing the envelope further, harder, and faster — a brand new start. A new beginning. That’s what New Year’s means to me. Looking forward. Time to write a new chapter. The future only goes one way. **** […]
I have a love / hate relationship with this time of year. I just can’t help it. On one hand, I finally have time to sit back, relax, and gloat over the year that was. After all, all the questions are answered. The year is done. The tours are done. The photos are done. And […]
The year in review, I’m going to repost a few of my favorites in case you missed it! Matthew and I were working in Cuernavaca, MX — a town about 1.5 hours from Mexico City on the other side of a tall mountain range. We didn’t get to see much of the town — the […]
We landed at 9:30 pm on Wednesday night into the mayhem that is Bonito Juarez Aeropuerta International — Mexico City’s International Airport. And, I was totally disappointed. I’d heard horror stories. I’d been told this airport — the third largest in North America and 5th largest in Todo El Mundo (all the world), was a […]
Let me start by saying I love Christmas. I am not a Grinch. Ever since I was a little boy, it’s been my favorite holiday of the year. ****** “What was that?” Pat asked as the tree dropped past the kitchen window. “That’d be Mike getting rid of the tree in his room,” answered my […]
