One on One Classes with Rich Charpentier

Wednesday, October 17, 2012

Further thoughts about pricing….something I totally didn’t consider

Sunday, August 14, 2011

In my quest to really learn more about pricing and best business practices I’m reading every day.  The latest book?  “Best Business Practices for Photographers” by John Harrington.  So far, a very good read.  8 chapters in within a few hours of cracking the book open.  Of course, there are 32 chapters.  Big book!

Way too much for one guy to carry

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

It isn’t bad in photography.  There’s the bottom line.  But if you read around you’ll find again and again folks debating the merits of digital versus analog.  And you know what?  The debate is bunk.

Monday, November 8, 2010

Before I get started, I almost posted an alternate title that was  suggested by a friend who texted me last night as I sat freezing in my tent next to Lake Powell.  The alternate title? My Weekend As A Media Whore….. The alternate title is a lot of fun, and maybe accurate.  I did upload [...]

Wednesday, October 13, 2010

Wow, it really is hard to blog when you’re busy

Sunday, September 19, 2010

Okay, I admit it.  I don’t know how Kelby and the rest of the photography bloggers out there do it.  I mean, when business is hopping, how the heck do they sit down and churn out so much interesting information.  And yes, I know I do blog more than the average person out there, but [...]
