Could Not Wait.....

Hey, I am teaching a workshop in Plymouth, MA and met a super-talented photographer (and super nice person), Betty Wiley.


Check out this amazing image at Bosque del Apache. I could not wait to share this photo with you.

Ahhhhhhh, this is one of the joys of teaching a workshop: you meet great photographers.

How cool is this! My pals at SmugMug and I have teamed for a fun-filled photo event in NYC.

The best part: You are invited! It's free! It's a fun-for-all!

To sign up and to get on our email list for the event (for last minutes changes, etc.) contact Susan Sammon.

We're going to meet in Duffy Square in front of the Red Steps on Saturday, June 18th at 5 PM. Look for me!

First, we'll take a mega group photo. After the shot, we're going for a photo walk around Times Square.

Juan Pons, my co-host at the Digital Photo Experience podcast, will be on hand to help photographers make good pictures. Jeremy Pollock, who co-authored (with SmugMug's Andy Williams) Photographing New York City Digital Field Guide, will also be there to help.

It gets even cooler.

When you get back home, you get to upload your favorite photographs to a special site and gallery that SmugMug set up just for the event.

Rent a Background – or two, or three or . . .

Hey my friends, this just in from my friends at Westcott.

Would you like to save hundreds of dollars and have your images be the talk of the town? If you answered yes, then you've found the right place. Most companies charge about $300.00 to buy one single scenic background that only gives you one look for all the images you take. No one wants their photo to look the same as their neighbors did. Would you?

For only $49.99 (or $29.99 for those of you who use this code: SAMMON) you could rent 6-10 backgrounds for the same price you could buy just one.

For you senior portrait and fashion photographers, options of over 100 backgrounds can set you apart from your competition ~ that has been using the same bench and garden background for years. Let your client choose backgrounds ahead of time, discuss clothing, then have it shipped in for the shoot and returned within a week.

Take a look at what Westcott has to offer!
