DJ, rock on Bud! You continue to be one of the biggest motivators and inspirational people in my life and so many others. You keep the dream alive and the drive going forward by reminding us of the possibilities. I just hope we can do the same for others by following your examples. It is with great pleasure that we all call you our friend. Really, from the heart...we can never thank you enough!
Hey thanks everyone! Honestly - your friendships and encouragement means the world to me.
Here's a link to a little clip from that mexico video and we are just making a few finishing touches on it and then we'll get it printed up and out to everyone. It's so fun!
Hey DJ, In the video you just said the future of your business isn't in fancy promo material but 2 days ago you were plugging Beckers promo material. Aloha, Kincaid
:) Becker is a self contained marketing machine and has an incredible business with several employees. He also setup his business several years ago and has it dialed in like nobody I've ever seen so it would be more costly for him, and possible damaging to his brand, to change and he doesn't really have a reason to change because he's rockin!
If somebody wants to take his approach they could make a lot of money doing it - but they're gonna spend A LOT of money and time getting it going.
My approach is more about freedom than money and I think if you're starting out now you're better off focusing on the intangibles rather than the tangibles...but I still get inspired and learn a ton from people like Becker who have led the charge and gotten this industry to where it is now!
Does show it web require you to use RAW and CS2 or is it just that you can use the benefits of the Bridge stuff if you shoot in RAW?
I was about to invest $3000 in all new storage and make the jump to RAW. I prayed about it and came up with this super cool JPG workflow. It's smokin. Took me from 4 days of perfectionistic ediding to 1 day and all the images still rock!!! But I need to do the slideshow marketing thing. That said, show it seems to be the best option. Let me know.
Dave, you're saying exactly what I've wanted to do and have since I started shooting a year ago. Brides & grooms shouldn't just be our clients they should be our friends in the beginnning and end. As photographers we are the only vendors who have the most contact with the bride and groom throughout the day. So if we can establish our work on a more personal level then that will distinguish us from the competition. Keep being the great leader and visionary that you are!
DJ - I am SHOCKED! Arkansas isn't one of your stops!!! That's just madness! :P haha!
Okay, really though, I could settle for a Dallas stop or something...........just FYI! Or maybe St. Louis?! I'd soooo love to make it to one of these. :) I really want to hear what you have to share, and I can't wait to hug your neck either! :)
Hey DJ! I want that to be me up there...I hope I can say that stuff about myself to others. Since I am not yet established, would you recommend that we attend this seminar? I would LOVE to meet you in person, and it looks like you are coming close to home..San Fran. I would love to come..how do we sign up?..or would it be over my head at this point? coz@shocking.com..or photocoz on OSP. Thanks, and keep up the amazing work..you are such an inspiration. -Coz
CHORUS You're the meaning in my life you're the inspiration. You bring feeling to my life you're the inspiration. Wanna have you near me I wanna have you hear me sayin': No one needs you more than I need you.
