The other day I wrote about an image by a Diamond POTY (see HERE ) and yesterday’s mail brought the January 2015 issue of Professional Photographer Magazine, which featured all the Diamond Photographers of the Year. Diamonds must be in the air – so we’ll just continue along that theme. Not too long ago, I …

From IUSA Mentor Booth Appointment to Loan Book – The Journey of an Image
2013 was my first trip to IUSA. It was an important event in my photographic career, I was receiving my Master’s Degree, so I was going to make this trip the absolute best it could be. I volunteered to help set up the print exhibit and work the ASP booth, and I attended several …

IPC 2013: The Journey of an Image – from Inspiration to Loan Collection
Last summer I shot a session that’s been 11 years in the planning. Let me back up. I took this photo in April 2001. Mr. Wootness and I were on the trip of a lifetime to Ireland. We were warmly ensconced within the tea room at Aillwee Caves in County Clare. This was our first …

IPC 2014 – The Season is Off to a Rocky Start…
I’m a dumb ass. There, it has been said. I am all about honesty. Plus when the little excerpt shows a cuss word in the links, I always get a lot of hits. I’m all about marketing, too. 🙂 But back to me, and my total and complete idiocy. I was so proud of myself …

Seriously? Are you freaking kidding me? I haven’t even sent in my 2013 case and you’re already blathering on about next year’s competition? Let me put my feet up and have a margarita or three while I wait for IPC 2013 results. Freaking crazy woman. *Smile* As I was perusing my Facebook Groups over the …

IPC 2013: I Hate My Case (part 4)
It started as a bit of a lark a few years ago when a photographer I know, Jeff, titled a forum post “I Hate My Case.” It’s the place where the horde of us who also competed and had love/hate relationships with our cases commiserated together while waiting for the IPC results. Since that time, …
IPC 2013: District Critiques & Breaking Seals (part 3)
Part #3 in a series of how many ever parts it takes. Instead of immediately entering my 4 district-sealed images directly to IPC after the Northeast District, I let my case sit for a few extra weeks until I received my district critiques. I felt that at least one image was going to need reworked …

IPC 2013: I Broke My #1 Rule (part 2)
Part #2 in a series of how many ever parts it takes. I fell in love with my case. There it is, no beating around the bush, it’s out there. I broke the most important lesson I teach my students. Do not enter family members or images of people you are very close to. You …
