PS… Last night’s PPA talk in Channel Islands was such a blast. Thanks everyone who came out!

This week’s show really is a perfect set-up for today’s super-special Fast Track Coaching Event. Our special guest today for Coaching is actually not a photographer. She’s a bride!

Lindye Galloway may also be familiar to many of you. Not only is Lindye a dream bride but she was also featured on Robert Evans‘ “Second Shooter” series when Robert came to help me shoot her wedding this past summer in Malibu.

I thought it would be so cool to interview her about what bride’s love and hate most about the wedding photographer experience. I think it will really help all of us to get a better handle on how best to attract the perfect clients. This is a MUST-BE-THERE show you don’t want to miss!

If you’re already a subscriber, CLICK HERE to start asking Lindye the questions you’ve always wished you could ask your brides. Remember you don’t need to wait until the show starts to ask!

If you’re wanting to join in for the fist time, CLICK THE STORE to sign up for the Forums or Coaching. Either way, we’ll see you at 4pm for today’s show!

Keep in touch.

In my book, I dreamed about a 24 hour cable TV show dedicated to photography.

Then, when fantastic resources like Photography Mentor and The B School came along, I was convinced my vision was happening sooner than I thought. On the heals of individual efforts like the Simple Photo Minute in the early days of video podcasting (as well as the more updated and upcoming AskDane.com), these pioneers have begun to create mass amounts of content to really drive where we’re headed.

Now it’s looking like another significant player has arrived with the announcement of The Photography Network.

Led by industry icons, Denis Reggie, Bambi Cantrell and Joe Buissink, this is sure to make a dramatic addition to the learning landscape. I was excited, humbled and a little surprised to be included in their promotional video (click The Concept in the lower left when you go to the site) but am really glad to be seen as someone playing a part in the leading of our incredible industry. And as Seth Godin says, lead we must!

These are extraordinary times to be a photographer and gaining access to the best and brightest will really help to raise the stakes for all of us.

Super stoked!

When Robert Evans – world renown celebrity photographer to Tom and Katie, Brad and Jennifer and umpteen other A-Listers – said he wanted to shoot second for me at Lindye and Winn‘s wedding I was blown away.

It’s one thing to shoot along side greats like him, but for Rob to intentionally choose to be in second position was incredible to me. And, the best part was he didn’t do it for my sake. He did it for yours!

Robert is in the process of creating a DVD made specifically for the second shooter and, like all the greats, he wanted to lead by example. Not only was the day a blast, but we got some amazing footage for the DVD that’s due out shortly at PhotographyMentor.com.

Knowing what I know about what is there now and what’s coming, I’d absolutely encourage you to check it out. In the mean time, the video below will give you a sneak peek.

Keep it humble.

I just shot one of my all time favorite weddings!

Lindye and Winn (and their families and wedding party and …) were just spectacular. It was one of those days that just shows up once in a while. If you didn’t get a chance to be at the wedding in person, check out their reception slideshow below!

I also got to enjoy shooting today with my friend Robert Evans which absolutely raised the value. Can you imagine having Robert as your second shooter? It was insane. What an amazing experience to shoot along side him … total class act. We also got some fun footage for his upcoming DVD specifically for 2nd Shooters. I dare you to check out his stuff over at Photographer Mentor. He’s hitting it out of the park over there. And, stay tuned for his DVD.

Thanks again Lindye and Winn! What a fantastic time. This was their getaway shot. So fun!

Shake it like a polaroid picture.

PS … It’s a big shooting month. Next week is Jen and Aaron’s wedding in Santa Barbara. I can’t wait!
