With the abrupt closing of the Sears and WalMart portrait studios the professional photography community has been atwitter (and coincidentally, on Twitter) talking about the ramifications for our industry. “The sky is falling! It’s the photoapocolypse!” and conversely, “Great..it’s about time.” While I am sad when that many people lose jobs, I fall squarely in...

Every once in awhile we need to take a page out of Stephen Covey’s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and take the time to “sharpen our saws”.

Thanks Mike for your inspiring words, here in Brookfield,there is no shortage of clients who love beautiful portraits, matted, framed, gallery wrapped, let the fun begin again this year.
Thanks, Wayde. Be a believer! 🙂
Thanks for everything you give back, Michael.
Michael,
Thanks for the article… I’ve needed this for a while i suppose – hence my post a couple days ago about lowering prices. I’ve straddled the fence for a few years believing that the best position to be in was to provide an upper quality product in my area at a middle of the pack price point. It worked for years but you are spot on given our current situation and I’ll be working to increase both my prices and quality. Thanks again for the nudge. Have a good weekend.
Michael-wow! Your evaluation of the photography industry was amazing. You nailed every aspect down piece by piece! You should definately be teaching business at a university level! I am so impressed. You should have your educated thoughts published! Go Michael go! You are right on the money! Smiles to your big thinking, Michael-Mary Quick
Thanks for the insight, you are, as usual; right on.
Your comments in this article match your work…outstanding brother!
You Freaking Rock!
