I hope you are are as excited as I am. This is going to be a fun time to learn and grow together.
Our first assignment is 25 steps.

Here is how it works.

Pick a starting point and walk 25 steps.
Stop, take a picture on the 25th step.
Walk another 25 steps, take another picture.
Repeat 30 times.

A couple of rules to go with this task. You can not zoom your lens in or out. Whatever the focal length of your lens is set on is what you have to use for the whole shoot. Just walk and compose the ph...

Marketing is essential for those of us who own our own business. I personally spend more time promoting myself than I do taking pictures. That’s what happens when you’re the head honcho and chief toilet bowl cleaner.

This is what I want to do with my photography, make people STOP, stare, question, feel.......

The idea of starting your own photo business can bring forth tons of emotions from exhilaration to "what have I gotten myself into?". To help you keep from getting to that place of what am I doing, here is one question to consider.

How much money does it cost you to get out of bed every morning?

So here's how it works. Figure out all your bills, expenses, all the money you spend in a month. We are talking everything. Start with rent, insurance, car payments,...

I have been inspired as of late by three amazing people (Rebecca Lansdowne, Kelly Kitchens and Todd Henry) and they have all lead me to starting this site.

LEARN GROW TEACH

I hope you join me in learning new things, growing from the knowledge and teaching others what you have learned.
