Just a BIG Thanks! My post for the weekend...

3/15/2014

Welcome to my morning...I NEVER sleep late anymore. Every day I'm up and on line around 7:00 am. For whatever reason, I crashed until 10:00 am this morning and while last night's dinner with great neighbors and a few more than normal empty bottles of wine contributed, I obviously needed to catch up on sleep.

I'm in one of those reflective moods and just feeling thankful for all of you in my life. I started this business in May of 2009 and people told me I was nuts to give up what they perceived as the greatest job in the world. Well, here I am almost five years later and couldn't be happier. If I was keeping track, it would be in the "Best Weeks of the Year" record book. And here are some highlights...all of the images except the one of Sheila and me are linked to the original post or video - just click if you missed it.

So the words "thank you" carry so much meaning this morning.  Thank you - to all of you who have supported this project, encouraged me to keep adding new features and topics, beaten me up when I've gone off course and contributed to helping raise the bar on building an educational resource for photographers! And to those of you who told me I was nuts and should have stayed in my old job...
"I do it because I can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't."

Wishing everybody a wonderful weekend - This is going to be my post for today and Sunday. I'm just going to spend it hanging out with Sheila!  You guys should do the same...no, not hang out with Sheila - just find somebody you love and make it a great day.

It was Sheila's Birthday - I'm not allowed to tell you which one, but it was a terrific milestone.

Good buddy Tim Kelly wrote one of the best guest posts I've read about the challenges in finding inspiration today.

Chris Fawkes, my buddy from "down under" and I finally had our first Skype call after working on Facebook Wedding Photographers for a year and a half. That single call has led to several new projects you'll hear about in the weeks ahead.

You have the gravitas as well as the respect of an entire industry behind you Skip and those two things the fruit of years of service to people who would make photography their life.

I'm honoured to say you're my friend.
