Barnaby Aldrick

Checkout Barnaby Aldrick! I like this guy! He just made a fun video for his blog and a super nice post about Becker, Jess and a bunch of other stellar photographers. Very cool.

I'm probably gonna head out to London next month for the U2 show and possibly a small workshop/conference and I hope to meet him.

Chris Anderson is the editor for Wired Magazine and a brilliant dude. He wrote a book called the The Long Tail that totally nailed what was happening with digital distribution and instantly became one of my favorite books. I've listened to it six times!

So when I heard he was coming out with a new book called FREE I was intrigued and watched some videos he had put out about his thoughts on it and was once again "enlightened" if you will, about where things are headed.

A week ago he put up this blog post up and said he was going to send out 50 prerelease copies to people with a megaphone but we had to prove it so he asked for info like our Facebook pages, blog stats, twitter accounts, etc etc... and so I sent him all that stuff - and I was one of the chosen 50!

I've just started devouring the book because we will be making an announcement TOMORROW which is highly related to this subject. :) .... so get ready...

FREE is here and it's changing things!

Wow wow wow!!!!

Pay Now or Pay Later

My friend Deyl always says "You're either gonna pay now or pay later" and usually it's cheaper to pay now because if you wait until you really need something you're always gonna pay more for it than if you buy it before you absolutely must have it. This is true for acquiring just about anything including skills and knowledge.

Most photographers choose to pay later. They start their businesses and they do all the things they want to do because those things (studios, gear, letterhead, samples, etc...) make them feel important and they differ the things they need. Most go out of business completely and 80% of wedding photographers only shoot 2 or 3 weddings a year.

So decide for yourself. Do you want to pay now and get things on track for success or are you going to take the quick and cheap route to failure?

I'd love to hear your thoughts...
