I recently read a story on the www about a tragedy in Utah. Three girls were taking each others’ photographs on the railroad tracks when they were unable to get out of the way of an oncoming train. Here’s a link to the story. Go read it and then come back. I’ll wait. Here’s the …

Git some fetchin’ up!
I said “I schedule those two times per year in my studio, usually during April and October.” What part of that sounded like an offer to meet you halfway between my studio and yours in December? “Yes, I live in Ohio,” does not mean – “Although we’re 4 hours apart, sure I will find one …
Ouzo & Baklava
No, you didn’t mistakenly find a recipe website, you’re at the right place. Today is Wootness™ Wednesday, so I must talk about something that brings Wootness™ to my life.

Releases: Copyright vs Print vs Model
Put your brains in gear – it’s Manic Monday and time to wrap your head around some terms that are used interchangeably and incorrectly.

Wootness™ is…waking up tomorrow
I was in the middle of writing this article about 6 hours ago, when I got a phone call that my 26-year-old son had collapsed at work. The squad had been called, and because the heart monitor showed an abnormality that indicated he was in the middle of having a heart attack, he was transported …
Organizing your digital photography files to match your workflow
I’m the queen of obsessive-compulsive organization, so hold onto your hats! My way may seem like overkill, but I can guarantee you that you will never lose another file AND you will never forget WHERE in the workflow process you are with a client.
