Well, it happened. The idea behind chosen the path of least resistance has become part of our culture. Saw the movie The Incredibles 2 last week, and a line stopped me dead in my tracks.

You don’t really need a studio….but….7 reasons why it’s really cool to have one
It’s true, you don’t really need a studio to be successful in your own photography business. But it sure is nice to have one. Here’s 7 reasons why it’s really cool to have one: You have control…lighting, drops, looks you want to create. To me, it’s like a chef in his own kitchen. I feel […]
“Wow! She is such an incredible inspiration….”

Do you need talent to succeed in photography?
Do you really need talent to succeed in photography? Talent, and only talent? Besides, what is talent….really? Here’s my two cents: Talent isn’t some God-given skill that comes easily and naturally.

I picked up one of those ready to assemble spinach salads for my wife Tina. It had goat cheese because I know she loves […]

Using the Goddox AD600BM and AD200 on location
I like these lights. They feel well made and rugged. Like me. And I don’t need to get a mortgage or sell my soul. Hopefully they’ll last too. Like me. (not my hair) I bought the Goddox AB600BM, which is 100% manual, and softbox, to use on families, weddings and shoots like the one I’m […]
