My new web site is up, www.paynefamilyphotographers.com, and I am delighted with it. Ellen Chesler of Lake Effects Web Design, www.lake-effects.net, has done a wonderful job. Please visit, and tell me how you like it!
I don't recall being so jazzed about the future of photography and life in general.
Conferences can do this to you, especially if the speakers are the great ones. The conference was the PPSNYS or Professional Photographers Society of New York State (www.ppsny.com) and was non stop info, beginning to end
Helen Yancy for example, one of the greatest teachers of Corel Painter that exists. www.helenyancy.com, and Suzette Allen, the perkiest photoshop guru of all time. Read her tutorials on www.shootsmarter.com.
When you leave their presentation, your head hurts, both because there was SO much information, and because you want to know so very much more. Their enthusiasm about their craft makes it even better.
Also, Suzette is selling her materials, in part, to finance her ministry www.shineforhim.com. Visit the site. It is far more eloquent than I.
One of the neat features of this conference was the Early Bird speakers, usually members who had expertise in a particular aspect of the business. I attended Steve Chesler's talk about intelligent marketing using the web. Wonderful Eye opener.
How do you like the photo of the Casino in Niagara Falls? This was across the street from our hotel. Cool, Huh!
The next several posts, I'm going to be recounting some of the last weddings I've done, and some of the helpful discoveries I've made. No, I haven't found anything new, just new to me. Maybe the photographers and brides who see this might take something positive from it.
Until next time!
