Keeping Focus and Moving Toward a Post-COVID19 World with Don Giannatti
Keeping Focus and Moving Toward a Post-COVID19 World with Don Giannatti
I am honored to be speaking to the membership of ASMP about my ideas on moving forward away from this “lockdown”. My focus is on what has remained and what has changed and utilizing our vision to help make the transition to what is new.
HERE IS THE REPLAY OF THE WEBINAR:
From the ASMP bulletin:
What I’ve Learned So Far: Twenty Three; “On Creativity”
Occasionally we run into the argument of whether or not 'creativity' can be taught, or does it have to be born within us? We read all about creativity and how important it is. We award little statuettes to really "creative" people. Creativity is blessed, cursed,...
What I’ve Learned So Far: Twenty Two; “Photography Is an Incredible Art”

What I’ve Learned So Far: Nineteen; “It Isn’t What You Shoot, It’s HOW You Shoot What You Shoot”
In the 'business' of photography some things have changed drastically since I started out a long time ago. From "day rates" to "snip tests" some of what we did as a normal part of our creative lives have either vanished or have been recreated into some new language -...
