Knowing the Difference

Lately I have been hearing alot about clients comparing different photography studios. The truth is, it is very hard to compare one studio against another, because each photographer and studio has a different idea about what a finished product is. Some studios offer a raw photograph and some only offer a finished photograph. Some photographers seek out higher education and continue to improve their talents and some do not. Some photographers keep all of their equipment in good working order and some do not. Some photographers use beautiful packaging and some do not. I could go on and on about the differences of photographers. They just cannot compare, you would be comparing an apple to an orange. Two things that are just not the same. Just remember that investing in your photographs is investing in your history. Moments that will represent you when you are not here to represent yourself. I wish that I could take credit for that line, but that would be one of my mentors words, Abe Thomy.

2008 PPSC Annual Convention Chairman

I have not fallen off of the face of the earth, but I have been busy!!! As some of you know I am the Convention Chairman for the Professional Photographers of SC and we are having our Annual Convention February 9-12 in Myrtle Beach. It has been both challenging and rewarding planning this convention. Especially since it is a volunteer position. But with every great reward comes a great sacrifice. I am glad that I had this opportunity to serve my fellow photographers in a profession that I am so blessed to be a part of. For those of you that do not know me, I have had a camera in my hand since I was 15 years old. The moment that I took my first photograph I knew what I would spend the rest of my life doing. Capturing stories and creating peoples histories. Making sure that they are leaving a legacy of recorded memories for their family.

Thank you for making me a part of your of your school. It is truly special to me. I would like to wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas!!! Wishing you all of the JOYS of the SEASON!!!!
