8 Essential Sites for Emerging Professional Photographers
A recent posting elsewhere with "5 Essential Photography sites" or whatever, didn't sit well with me. I don't consider a vendor an essential. My vendor may be essential to me, but they are not essential to you. I found the list rather dreadfully full of vendors. So I...
Introducing the New Category: Rants & Raves
Time for a new category here on LE. I want to share a lot of things with you all, but it needs to be done on a near daily basis. And that causes some problems with how the longer posts get distributed. The "Rants & Raves" pages may appear daily, with the longer...

Images from the Toronto LE Workshop

It’s All About Me! Photographers ‘About Me’ Pages
Creating an "About Me" page can be quite a challenge for photographers. What should be included? How should it read? First person or third person voice? Should there be a client list or should it be separate. Well, let's take a long look at a lot of those questions....
A Passion for the Image
37,000 feet over the Great Plains of these wonderful United States and I find myself drifting off a bit, as the days have been long and nights short lately. The workshops are the most fun I have had in a long time, and they keep me pretty busy. As well, time must be...
