A recent quote from one of my favorite marketing philosophers, Seth Godin: “If I listened to feedback, I would have quit on the first day.” Problem is, this is only half true. See, I’ve seen many photographers take my fairy success system and grow a healthy and profitable product. I’ve seen others fail dismally. Why? […]
“Pair of spare underwear and two pairs of socks….”
I love motorcycling. It’s like a disease. But NOT that the big ‘ol biker riding in a huge condo-on-wheels with monkey bars style of riding. I’m more in it for the fun and adventure. That’s me in the image above, riding across Canada summer of 2008 heading to Alaska. I’m more of a “…get on […]

You can’t dabble your way to success.
You can’t dabble your way to success. You can dabble with a lot of things, but not success. Realizing your goals and dreams, and making it all a reality is more about showing up early and staying later than anyone else. Dabblers are average. Dabblers are uncommitted.

How FakeBook is ruining my small city…
One of the coolest things about living in a small city is that we’re big enough to have an almost big city cosmo vibe, sorta, and things like StarBucks, a multi-screen movie mega-plex, big box stores and a few festivals.
