Falling Behind

Lately this blog has taken a backseat to other aspects of my business and I intend to rectify that starting today. I haven’t posted in more than 2 months and there is just no excuse for that. So over the coming months I intend to change gears a bit. This afternoon I am being photographed to replace my current “mugshot” (as it has been described). I will post later today about how that shoot goes and from now on I will try to post something every week day. For now though, check out John Harrington’s Blog, Photo Business News & Forum, for some info on the release of his latest edition to his book “Best Business Practices for Photographers”.

Making Stock Work

I was reading the Strobist Blog today and found this article fascinating. Check it out if you get a chance.

Making a living $0.40 at a time just seems like a failing business model, but when your selling 2000 images a day, I guess you can push through it. After seeing this post on the Strobist I checked out Yuri’s blog and I was pretty impressed with that as well. Check it out here Very well spoken and clearly on top of his game. I don’t think it’s for me but I will definitely look at stock differently from now on. The videos are great and the concept of making stock work just captured my attention. Hope you like it.
