Fun at the FBR Open
It's hard to believe we've been photographing the Phoenix Open Golf Tournament (now FBR Open) for 16 years now. The friendships I've made with the Thunderbirds and their families are some of my most treasured as are the memories created during a busy, fun filled week. Here is an image of Kristin and I in the SkyBox on the famous 16th Hole. And another shot of me and Shaquille O'Neal during the Special Olympics Putting tournament. I'd like to tell you I was giving him some pointers but I was really just telling him where to stand. I felt like a midget.

National Photographers Convention in Phoenix
I am already suprising you by keeping my New Years Resolution - aren't I? I am BLOGGING!
What's happened in Jaunary? Big News!!!
The Professional Photographers of America (PPA) held their National convention here in Phoenix. There were over 7,000 professional photographers from all over the world gathered at the Downtown Convention Center. Our group was the first official convention held at the new digs and WOW was it amazing. The new Sheraton was the host hotel and it was beautiful. The staff was super friendly . . . if you ever get the chance to sneak away for some downtown culture I recommend spending the night there! The light rail was even up and running. We certainly seemed 'big time' for our little town :)
The PPA asked me to give a platform program that would be helpful to photographers at all stages of their careers so with sponsorship by Eastman Kodak (I am one of their approved Kodak Speakers which is WAY COOl!) I presented "10 Steps to Building a Successful Photography Studio". I love giving this program and was excited to share all I could and wasn't nervous at all until . . . gulp . . . I found out I was to give the program in the Symphony Hall that would hold 2,000 people. Shaking it off, a couple of deep breaths later and looking out to see my mom and dad in the audience calmed me right down. In all my 15 years of giving programs across the United States (Japan and Canada too) this was their first time to see me speak. It was also Todd and my freinds Jena and Drew's first time to see me on stage so that made it extra special.
Let's just say the program 'rocked the house' and I was very proud of how it went. Lot's of great responses from photgraphers that wanted to talk to me afterwards. To each of you that took time to share your stories with me after the program . . . keep the faith and call me if you need me!!!!!!!! And remember how important each of you are as our world's visual record keepers!
Here are some pictures of the trade show, the Kodak sign highlighting my program and Kristin, Jamie and I out celebrating. Good times!!!!!!

New Year's Resolution
Hello friends, family and clients!
My New Year's Resolution (and one you get to hold me accountable for) is to become a faithful 'blogger' so that I can keep you informed on all that is going on at the studio and in my world. My original plan was to pass this torch to Jamie but then I realized what a cop out that was and that this part of our studio cyber communication should come from me - the Grand Poobah. So, I will try my hardest to not bore you to tears (although I hope sometimes you'll shed tears of laughter and how funny things can be around here!) while I keep you informed on all that we're doing.
Sign on every now and again and you can get yourself caught up - you might find something you will want to participate in or share with a friend - they're welcome too.
