by Skip Cohen As usual, my mind is miles away from business and marketing on Sunday mornings, especially on St. Patrick's Day. At 7:00 am, I picked up the phone and called my college roommate, Rich. For one of the few times over all these years, I was the first to call! For fifty-six years, we've had a tradition of seeing who'd be the first to remind the other what we were doing in 1968. It was St. Patrick's Day, and Rich and I decided to celebrate. Neither of us had ever been drunk before, and true to the stupidity of most first-year college students, we felt we were ready for the task. We started drinking green beer at 7:00 am at the Purity in Oxford, Ohio. By 8:30 am, we were a mess, but the bar was packed, and we weren't going to slow down. Rich had a big half-gallon Viking-looking tankard he'd gotten as a high school graduation gift, and when people got up to dance, we'd grab what was left of their beers and pour them into his tankard. We were able to continue our binge with minimal spending! Around 11:00 am, a few of our friends came to drag us out and safely get us back to the dorm. The rest of the day was ugly. Rich and I each grabbed a stall in the men's room and "drove the porcelain bus!" It's a great memory that puts this gigantic smile on my face. Sheila's heard the story dozens of times, but once a year, it's a classic trip down Memory Lane that I'm encouraged to share over and again. It's not just a classic event but about tradition. It's about two knuckleheads who have hung on to a moment from their past and elevated it to a testimonial to their friendship. Rich is in the DC area, and we check up on each other with phone calls a few times a year. Although we've only physically seen each other a couple of times over the years, that doesn't change the respect and love we have for each other. It's been said that everlasting friends go long periods of time without speaking and yet never question the friendship. These friends pick up like they just spoke yesterday, regardless of how long it has been or how far away they live, and they don't hold grudges. They understand that life is busy and love is there. TheMindsJournal Wishing everyone a day that's filled with smiles. Find the time to savor a great memory and then share it with somebody whose presence in your life you cherish. Go for those eleven-second hugs I always write about.
Happy Sunday...or Monday on the other side of the world. And to Rich - sure do love ya buddy!

"The best advertising you can have is a loyal customer spreading the word about how incredible your business is.” Shep Hyken by Skip Cohen I try to keep Friday posts short. Today's post is more of a reminder of what every small business owner's mantra should be: exceed expectations and make yourself habit-forming! Thinking about 2024 and the challenges we all face for the new year, I couldn't be more optimistic. It won't be an easy year, but I'm hearing so many great stories about business picking up around the country. Well, I started thinking about the role Customer Service will play in the months ahead. It's simple—your success is about going the extra steps you take and staying in touch with your clients, even when you don't have to. It's also about keeping your promises, never compromising on the quality of your images, and creating a brand/reputation known for integrity. Coming back from Cleveland just a few days ago, we got stuck in Charlotte for hours due to bad weather in Florida. The delay had absolutely nothing to do with American Airlines directly - just storms. But here's where American missed the boat - their computer wasn't synchronized with the announcement information they were sharing. Every 30 minutes, the departure monitor updated to a new time—and it was always wrong. That put the gate agents in the position of announcing the real-time data they had received. But with each update on the monitors, we'd get excited, thinking we were finally going to take off! To add to the pain, the gate agents shared an update every 15 minutes, reminding everybody our departure time was in "God's hands, not theirs." Here's my point: Be honest with your promises. Then, deliver what you promised and more if you can. Building trust is about great communication and follow-through. Done right, working with you will become habit-forming. To paraphrase two of the industry's finest portrait artists, Tim and Beverly Walden, "It's all about creating an experience, not just the finished product!" As we head into Spring, now is the perfect time to keep in touch with your clients and your audience. It's about giving back, being helpful, and growing your strongest marketing tool: relationship building! Excellent Customer Service isn't just about solving problems. It's about being proactive and creating top-of-mind-awareness with your audience - so whenever they think about photography, your name is right on top. It's about going beyond the customer's expectations. There are no traffic jams along the extra mile.
Roger Staubach by Skip Cohen It's graduation season, and I'm always amazed by what kids graduating today have for their senior portrait versus when I was a kid. (This is where Scott Bourne would make a crack about Matthew Brady doing my senior shot!) Every senior headshot was the same: black and white and boring. There was no capture of anyone's personality, and it was not something you'd share except with wallet-size photos. But the excitement of graduating and starting a new chapter in your life was the same. Well, today, whether you're a full-time senior photographer or portrait artist, graduation season is a time for creativity and exceeding client expectations. To start, think about what kids have gone through to make it to graduation today. They all had to deal with the pandemic, worrying or more tragically dealing with school shootings, politics, and simply watching the world run amuck! Graduation becomes even more special and a time of pride and celebration. Yes, I'm essentially doing a post that's an infomercial, but if you've followed my blog over the years, I don't share anything that doesn't make sense to help you grow your business or your skill set. If you're hoping to go after the senior market and beyond to graduation, then let's get you the very best products. I'm a big fan of grad cards, and Marathon's offering them on a BOGO program right now, with half off. That gives you an advantage in decreasing costs and increasing margins. And you've got so much to choose from. When you click on the banner below, you can check out the program for yourself. There are 64 different basic templates, and within each collection, tools to enhance your creativity abound! I've included a screenshot of the first twelve below. Here's my point - everyone is looking for ways to grow their business and increase revenue. Grad cards are a way to produce something special and secure your role in helping students and families celebrate what's typically the first major achievement of so many of today's kids.

(There are 52 more!) by Skip Cohen It's Sunday morning, and Reflections is rarely about business and marketing. It's always more personal and, hopefully, something that makes a point you can relate to. As I started to write, Lucy and Belle came in looking for a bit of lovin'. They waited for me to stop typing as if they could talk and say, "Hey, Dad, how about us?" It's their usual routine, but this morning, it hit me about how it's the little things that often make the most significant difference. Then I remembered an inspirational reading from last week by Cyndie Spiegel: EVERY SINGLE MOMENT MATTERS: Every moment matters - not just the big ones, but also the small ones, the seemingly irrelevant ones and the quiet ones. All of these moments add up to a life well lived. Don't take the presumably unimportant moments for granted. Look for them and treasure them instead. Listen for the words unspoken. Notice the quick glance. Feel the soft touch. The long-held hugs. The sadness. The graciousness. The in-between. The magical sweet spots between tiny and massive moments are your life. Don't forget to pay attention to them. In the end, this is really all we have. Time is our most valuable commodity, and it goes by faster and faster as you get older. But two pups this morning got me thinking about how much I've grown to treasure the little things in my life. Every moment really does matter, even the tiniest. But so often, we're all so busy slaying dragons that little things slip right by. Wishing all of you a day to appreciate the little things in your life. Whether they put a smile on your face or a tear - they're all part of your life. And as the author above wrote - All of these moments add up to a life well lived. Go for those long hugs with the people most special in your life, and at the same time, think about how much richer your life is because they're in it. Happy Sunday or Monday on the other side of the world. by Skip Cohen Last week I shared a post and video about Marathon's Bella Album line. At a time when everybody is working hard to make their work unique and create excitement with their clients, it's a perfect solution to exceeding expectations. Well, here's one more: book publishing. Again, you're looking to set yourself apart from your competitors with presentations that are different. I'm a big fan of books, whether one-of-a-kind or dozens of copies. I've done several over the years for my wife and each time they exceeded expectations. One of the skills most of you possess is storytelling. Creating a book in my opinion has so much more impact than just an album. You can add copy, create a unique layout, and design a cover that makes your publication look like it's off the shelf at Barnes & Noble. Here's one more benefit - we're a word of mouth industry. Think about the impact a personalized book will have on a client. Now, think about how many people a happy client is going to show their book to. And a book is perfect as a fundraiser for a nonprofit. Many of you are involved with various charities who are always looking for unique ways to raise money and awareness. I'm thinking of community non-profits, pet adoption centers, and events that deserve to have their story told by a professional storyteller. This is a product that has huge potential to help establish your reputation as a leader in your community. You're not just another vendor, but a master in storytelling! "Leadership is the capacity to translate a vision into reality." Warren Bennis. ...or call Marathon at 800-228-0629!
Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth! Muhammad Ali by Skip Cohen February is about to close, giving you only a month to build a stronger foundation for the new year. And with Easter coming early this year, you really have even less time. This is the sixth installment in this year's building block series. It's also the easiest for you to accomplish: Community Involvement. You're looking for the community to be good to you, so you better make damn sure you're good to your community! From local nonprofits to national programs, it doesn't matter if they're photo-centric or not. You're looking for things you can do to help, with or without a camera in your hands. Here's one that's national, involves your photographic skills, and carries with it a huge client responsibility. But it's an even bigger payback when it comes to tugging on your heartstrings - Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. I'm a big fan of the support they provide to families when they need help the most. And while some of you may think it's too gut-wrenching or morbid to photograph a dying child, read this post. I shared it many years ago, but there's no expiration date on making a difference in people's lives. It's still one of my favorite posts on the topic. "I've never heard a thank you that left me so sad, and yet so proud. I walked out knowing that the images I had taken weren't just pictures - they were someone's memories. They mattered." Cyd Lapour, NILMDTS Volunteer My point is about giving back - at any level. NILMDTS is a wonderful organization, but there's no such thing as an effort too small. From teaching a community class on how to get better photography to working with the local high school on a better yearbook, there's something or someone in your community who needs help. Even easier, being involved in your community in some way doesn't have to involve photography; it just takes a little effort and your time.
Use social media to raise awareness with posts about the need for volunteers and support for various community groups. Share a community calendar about upcoming nonprofit events. Attend various fund-raisers, capture images and then share them in social media. Be a leader in giving back! I'm so surprised by the number of people who do so little and think that a donation to a particular charity once a year is enough. When put on the spot, they'll respond with something about how they're still looking for the right charity. You're not buying a car, just getting involved in helping people! Remember, people like buying products and services from companies they perceive as giving back to the community. You're looking for the community to be good to you - so you better make sure you're being good to your community! by Skip Cohen It's Marketing Monday, and I usually post something about business and marketing, but things don't always go as planned. While outside with the pups this morning, I discovered a Monarch chrysalis ready to hatch. They start out green and almost entirely opaque. As they get closer to emerging, the chrysalis becomes clear, and you can see the Monarch's wings tightly folded inside. I grabbed a Platypod, an extra light, a few accessories for setup, and my phone. Expecting the butterfly to emerge "any minute" turned out to be almost three hours. Then, the process of emerging was close to 25 minutes until the wings were completely extended. To share this mini-miracle of life, I edited the video below to just the first two minutes. But my point today isn't really about this new "member of the family," but the fun I had playing with video editing for the first time. I'm not about to suggest that I'm any kind of expert, but the thrill of doing a little editing, including dropping in music, is the best example of what I love about this industry. There's that old line: Without change, there'd be no butterflies. Well, maybe my point today is that you can teach an old dog new tricks! First, all of this was shot on my iPhone 14. Second, the Platypod gear gave me exactly what I needed. Third, while I was set up to add in a light, by the time the butterfly emerged, the sun was completely out, and it wasn't needed. Last but not least, was the experience of doing some video editing. Remember, my skillset is about helping you with marketing and business, not capture and post-production. But I loved starting to learn something I haven't done before. So, the next time you cringe over learning something new and think you can skate by without growing - think again. We're an industry constantly changing, and technology never slows down. What a kick! Note: Please click to enlarge full screen by Skip Cohen Sunday Morning Reflections are rarely about business or marketing, but my time to be a little more personal. This morning, I sat down at the computer and spent the next forty-five minutes trying to figure out what to write about. It finally hit me... Turn the clock back to when you were a kid. It took so little to be happy and laugh. There was no place we couldn't go with our imaginations in full gear! Into adulthood, so many of us let the stress in our lives stifle our ability to laugh more and just be happy. Well, this morning it dawned my how amazing life truly is. In fact, to quote the original Little Rascals...It's REMARKABLE! My life has evolved into time with Sheila, two pups, wonderful routines, a few great friends, and a whole lot of laughter. My imagination is in full gear. Every day starts with puppy time. Then Sheila and I have breakfast together and progress into the day. After dealing with COVID, which we managed to avoid for four years, we're back to walking every morning. I spend a good deal of the day working, but there's that line about if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. Like so many of you who have found that sweet spot in your careers, you know exactly what I'm talking about. STOP WAITING FOR FRIDAY, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you're in now. Genevieve Colmer Here's my point - so many people spend so much time looking and waiting to find happiness when the reality is that it's right there, right now! It's a not-so-secret ingredient of trusting your heart, appreciating life, and doing your best not to waste time, your most valuable commodity.
And if you're not happy and diving out of bed each day smiling, take a break and think through what seems to be in the way. As photographers especially, you can't create photographs that tug at people's heartstrings if your own heart isn't in it. Once you tweak the recipe for being happy, you'll be amazed at how your creativity ramps up as well. That imagination you had as a kid will be back in full swing. Wishing everybody a day where you take the time to appreciate all the happiness around you. I get that sounds pretty sappy and even hokey, but the key is in that quote above. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it. by Skip Cohen
Usually, this is the kind of post I'd share for a Sunday Morning Reflections piece, but recently, I've noticed how many photographers would rather follow someone else's lead than blaze their own path. Even with the slightest change in how they capture an image, they're not comfortable trying something new. Cyndie Spiegel in her book, A year of Positive Thinking, put it all in perspective... YOU DON'T NEED APPROVAL: Don't concern yourself with what others think of your choices. Instead firmly stand for them. Your decisions are your own. You choose how you show up in the world and who you spend your time with. Do whatever brings you to your knees with joy, gratitude, and belonging, and do not seek approval from others. Know that what is right for you may not be right for someone else, and that's okay. Stand in all that you choose - with no approval needed. Here's my point - get rid of the "negators" in your life. Follow your own path, and while you should appreciate the feedback, good or bad, trust your heart and the choices you make. From the click of the shutter to parts of your career journey that are more extensive, don't let indecision keep you out of the driver's seat! Happy Friday - wishing everybody a terrific weekend! by Skip Cohen It’s a new year, and everyone is searching for new products and ways to exceed client expectations. That’s one of the biggest reasons to attend every possible convention. At IUSA, a few weeks ago, I spent time in the Marathon booth and was blown away by the quality and extent of their Bella Album line. The video below pretty much says it all. And while you’ll never hear me suggest I know what I’m doing with video production – that doesn’t change my excitement over Bella Albums. Check out Marathon, and then give them a call. While the video is better at showing the product than just a static image, it doesn’t begin to demonstrate the variety of covers, papers, and their ability to emboss. Marathon’s just a call away at 800-228-0629 or click here to the Bella Albums product section on their website.
by Skip Cohen Building a successful business is like putting a puzzle together. Each piece represents another aspect of your relationship with your target audience and the community. No two pieces of the puzzle are the same, but they all fit together. And you need ALL of them to complete the "picture." Whether you're just starting your business, rebuilding, or trying to do a quick high-impact jumpstart, NOW is the time for planning and taking action. In photography especially, for most of you, this is the "slow season." But it's a you-snooze-you-lose scenario if you are complacent and kick back, waiting for your ship to come in! Your very best marketing tool is relationship building. Yes, you need the skills to walk the talk, and social media involvement is important, but in the end, it all comes down to relationships. So, let's hit on some dependable relationship builders:
Your goal is to be a leader in your community and demonstrate why you're everyone's best choice for the services and products you provide. What good is working to create the finest images of your career if people don't know who you are and what you stand for? by Skip Cohen
My Mom passed away almost eleven years ago and today is her birthday...but this post really isn't about Mom as much as it is cherishing old photographs. I know it's been a common theme in my posts, especially over the last couple of weeks. Here's my point - where would we be without photography? The world would look like an artist's sketch from a high profile closed session court case! We'd have drawings, stick figures and descriptions - but no photographs. So, cherish your skillset and don't slow down in growing your expertise! You're part of an amazing industry, but it carries a huge responsibility to every client - NEVER compromise on the quality of an image. And to Mom...Happy Birthday! We sure do miss ya. by Skip Cohen Shakespeare gets credit for the quote, but there have been so many versions of the same theme—one of them from Cyndie Spiegel in her daily inspirational book a few days ago. BECOME AN EXPERT IN YOU: There is no one else as good at being you than you are. Be open to receiving advice but also trust that you know yourself better than anyone. You are an expert in your own experiences; own that. Boldly accept what makes you different. Believe in your abilities. Trust your intuition. Stand up for your ideas and know that you are exactly who you should be. There is no reason to add much more except to remind you never to let anyone get in the way of chasing your dreams. Listen to your heart, trust your gut, and believe in yourself! Wishing everybody a terrific day ahead with time to just appreciate everything you've done and are doing. Hug your "village" - and let them know how much you appreciate their support. Go for those eleven-second hugs I always write about with the people you love the most. And along with Cyndie Spiegel and Shakespeare, even Dr. Seuss hit the idea... Today you are you! That is truer than true.
There is no one alive who is youer than you! Dr. Seuss This is what I like about photographs. They're proof that once, even if just for a heartbeat, everything was perfect. Jodi Picoult by Skip Cohen I try to keep Friday posts to one concept to give you something to think about over the weekend. I wish today's post was mandatory for every photographer to think about. When I ran yesterday's post about Molly the Wonder Dog, it focused on Throwback Thursday. I posted three black-and-white images captured by "Vanelli" and one by Bambi Cantrell. The three photographs represent some of my most valuable photos. They're memory markers and fit perfectly with author Jodi Picoult's quote above. Here's my point... Take a few minutes and find a couple of your favorite photographs. Then, think about what makes them unique. Most of you underestimate the value of the service you provide to each client. You take shortcuts, sometimes compromise on quality, and don't focus enough on your ability to be a magician. You have the skills to help the world capture memories. You turn the intangible into tangible moments people can hold for a lifetime. As your skillset keeps developing, the goose that laid the golden egg is right in front of you. As a business owner, what could be more valuable to your target audience? Where would the world be without photography? Even closer to home, where would your clients be without your expertise? Now, focus on your mindset the next time you click the shutter! by Skip Cohen
It's Throwback Thursday, and I'm surprised at how accurate the expression "time heals all wounds" really is. Five years ago, our vet made me realize how selfish it was to prolong Molly the Wonder Dog's life. She was fighting liver cancer, and serious intervention would have only prolonged her pain without any quality of life. When I shared the images above on a Facebook post, there were close to 300 comments from people who completely understood the hole in my heart that day. Molly had been by my side non-stop for 13 years. I honestly was at a complete loss for how to deal with the sadness. Nine months later, Sheila and I decided to add Lucy and Belle to the family. But here's what amazed me...The two pups have Molly's spirit, especially Lucy. It's almost as if they went to "Molly Class," and she made sure they were tuned into what made us laugh. And their energy as smaller dogs is so much like Molly's, as a pup. I get that those of you who have lost dogs before wholly understand, but it took me a while to realize that being consistent with having a pup or two in the house was a tribute to Molly, not a replacement. All of this seems pretty trite to share today, but the hole in my heart never healed. It just got filled up with more love, this time from two pups. Having two dogs totally expanded and strengthened the bond between all of us. It's non-stop unconditional love all day, every day, and it just keeps getting better. Finding the pics above on Facebook today as an FB Memory, finally made me smile - sure it's a little bittersweet, but I feel so lucky to have had Molly in my life and now be hanging out with Lucy and Belle. Happy Throwback Thursday! If there was a way you could expand your reach, save money, expand brand awareness and increase revenue, wouldn't you want to know about it? It's time to STOP FLYING SOLO! Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success! Henry Ford by Skip Cohen
I've written a lot about partnerships over the years, but the timing during the "slow season" gives you the perfect opportunity to build some new relationships and add more strength to old ones. Great partnerships can dramatically reinforce so many different aspects of your business. Yet, so many of you sit there and whine about how tough it is and don't do anything because cash flow is a mess. I get it, but I won't let you fold when you're holding some great cards! Here are eight different opportunities/partnerships to consider:
For those of you who are rolling your eyes and thinking there's nobody to partner with because your specialty is so limited, here's a list to work from. I'm sure there are plenty I've missed because these are all in the portrait/social categories.
It's time to stop thinking you've got to do everything by yourself. Business has changed dramatically, but along with the frustrations, there are some unique opportunities for creative leadership. You don't need to jumpstart your business alone - think about the strategic alliances in your community to rebuild together! by Skip Cohen Two weeks ago I arrived at IUSA. The anticipation of catching up to old friends and associates and making new friends bordered on overwhelming. I was that stereotypical little kid on Christmas morning. IUSA, although slower than anticipated attendance-wise, was no disappointment. It was a great trip and just what I needed to recharge my "battery," add a few new projects, and set the stage for the new year. I didn't anticipate that two days after getting home, COVID would knock on our front door. And a week after that, Sheila picked it up. But overall, there was more good news than bad. First, to date it's been no more than a bad cold. Second, it was relatively fast-moving. Third, and this was the best part - the lack of energy was perfect to simply rest and follow the doctor's orders to take it easy. That gave me plenty of time to ponder - create a couple of fun new projects and get closer to figuring out what I want to be when I grow up. Although our routine of reading something motivational slowed down a little, today's was perfect! Author Cyndie Spiegel hit a home run this morning. THE WORLD DOESN'T NEED MORE SAMENESS Say what you feel. Wear what you want. Do what you please. Believe what you believe. Have your opinion. Graciously hear the opinions of others, but do not allow anyone to bully you out of your truth. Stand in who you are. Take a stand for others. Celebrate what makes you different. The world is awaiting your honesty, rebellious, and wild soul. Show us who you really are. And here's my point...It's a new year with an empty canvas waiting for each of us to "show who we really are." I'm not sure I could be more excited about 2024 - I just need to get out of this real-life NyQuil commercial I'm still stuck in! LOL
Wishing everybody a fantastic day ahead! Go for those eleven-second therapeutic hugs with the people you love the most. Let them know how important they are in your life, and don't forget how important you are in theirs. Happy Sunday...or Monday on the other side of the world. by Skip Cohen Last week, I shared several posts about blogging and took a little heat from a few people who believe blogging is a waste of time. Depending on the style of blog, length of posts, etc. they're right in part. However, the issue is about sharing content and being helpful. With or without a blog, "being helpful" should be the foundation for everything you do to build followers. Years ago, I shared content from an article, "How to Write a (Better) Photography Blog Post," by Andy Bondurant. He listed six areas every new and veteran blogger should focus on. The article is no longer active, but here's what I shared that was most on point:
For those of you who don't feel blogging is effective, take that list above and substitute "posting" for blogging. Then, think of each point as it applies to social media, your Facebook page, for example. You need consistency, dedicated time, and a voice in each post that reflects who you are and your passion for the craft. Engage, Enlighten, Encourage and especially... just be yourself.
Social media is a community effort, everyone is an asset. Susan Cooper by Skip Cohen In 2001, I met Vicki and Jed Taufer for the first time. While we don't catch up that often, nothing changes how much I cherish the friendship. I caught up with both of them this week at IUSA, As I sat here this morning looking for a great Throwback Thursday image to share, I ran across this post from seven years ago. I started the "Why?" series in 2016 to introduce you to the movers and shakers in our industry. In the next few years, we shared over 130 posts by some of the most respected artists in imaging. I'm about to bring back the series with more photographers, but this one out of the SCU archives is perfect for today. The audio quality isn't as good as I'd like - I had problems with the original file, but it's still a great way to get to know a little more about Vicki Taufer. And to Vicki and Jed - we sure do love you guys! From the archives... When I started "Why?" I thought the artists would typically share one of their favorite images captured for clients over the years. What's actually been shared is a wide variety of incredible backstories, and often very personal memory-making images having little to do with imaging, but a lot to do with life. Vicki Taufer is in the "Why?" spotlight today sharing a very personal backstory which brought a number of us in the industry together on her behalf. It's the perfect example of just how close an industry we are and as sappy as it might sound, a family. And, in terms of Vicki and Jed's family, they believe in giving back. As a result of their experience in the adoption process of their daughter Purnima, along with the people of Nepal, they started a non-profit, Aasha. "We were inspired to start The Aasha Fund by our daughter’s adoption, but our focus is to help people all over the world, specifically families and their children." You'll find more of Vicki's work with a visit to her website - just click on her "Why?" image. Happy Throwback Thursday!

Now and than there's an adventure you shouldn't miss. Well, here's one with Kevin Gilligan and Tony Di Zinno to Patagonia. In May 2024, I'm returning to Patagonia to lead a photography workshop with my good friend and world-class photographer/educator Tony Di Zinno. This will be an incredible trip. We'll stay inside Torres Del Paine National Park and take day trips, returning nightly to a wonderful hotel with incredible views. We will stay in the park at a fabulous hotel starting May 14 and leaving on the 19th. --- Kevin Kevin is a good buddy, but that's not why I'm sharing this. Our friendship grew from my respect for him as an artist and business owner. He's an accomplished photographer and educator. The only thing more impressive than many of his images is his love for the craft. He's the perfect guide for this upcoming adventure to Patagonia. Whether you've got Patagonia on your bucket list or not, it will be a fantastic trip, and he's only got a few spots still open. If you've got the slightest interest, contact Kevin via email and then talk to him directly. One phone conversation with Kevin and you'll pick up on his love for imaging. Combined with his skill set and integrity - this will be an incredible adventure! Click on any of the images in this post for more information and Kevin's email address! Patagonia May 2024 from K.A.
