I think it’s great to have photog crushes. I have a lot of them. I’m happily (VERY happily) married, so my crushes are all about photographic ability. I’m an active member of the Professional Photographers of Ohio and am lucky enough to have been elected as a trustee on the board of directors for 2011-2014. …

Who do I think I am?
I’m skipping “Social Sunday” this week. Or maybe I’ll write one later today. But for now, there’s this. Who do I think I am? I know I am 48 and when I was 45, I was forced to change careers. A risky thing for a woman to do at my age. There was downsizing, I …

Stay off the tracks. Pinky swear.
I recently read a story on the www about a tragedy in Utah. Three girls were taking each others’ photographs on the railroad tracks when they were unable to get out of the way of an oncoming train. Here’s a link to the story. Go read it and then come back. I’ll wait. Here’s the …
Git some fetchin’ up!
I said “I schedule those two times per year in my studio, usually during April and October.” What part of that sounded like an offer to meet you halfway between my studio and yours in December? “Yes, I live in Ohio,” does not mean – “Although we’re 4 hours apart, sure I will find one …
Ouzo & Baklava
No, you didn’t mistakenly find a recipe website, you’re at the right place. Today is Wootness™ Wednesday, so I must talk about something that brings Wootness™ to my life. So, I’ve decided to talk about teaching, And my students. And how sometimes they crack me up, sometimes I smile because they have learned the lessons …
Releases: Copyright vs Print vs Model
Put your brains in gear – it’s Manic Monday and time to wrap your head around some terms that are used interchangeably and incorrectly. First of all, NEVER use the term “copyright release.” You will probably NEVER be in a position of someone wanting to purchase full and permanent rights to one of your photographs. …

A LOT of time can be spent, err… wasted….on social media.One of the biggest (legitimate) time suckers is populating all of your social media sites with your latest blog post. You SHOULD …
