Slowing Down and an Apology

4/2/2013

So here's the challenge...

This is a new site and a new blog and even though I think I know what I'm doing, every now and then I realize what a potential hazard I really am. I really love blogs that allow you to comment and hate it when they take forever to screen what you wrote before posting. Sadly, with today's trolls, a little screening is a necessity...but not for a month or more.

I just found a stash of fifty comments that I released and I want to apologize. It had nothing to do with anything that was said, only my failure to not recognize where they were stored. What can I say except, good help is hard to find!

And to Gabe - thanks for finding the typo - I agree. A third proof-read might have caught it. However, it's been fixed.

Seriously you guys, thank you for your support and especially your patience, feedback and guidance. Sure do love this industry!

Need Help With Pricing?

It's not rocket science and profit isn't a dirty word. Bad pricing is one of the most critical mistakes artists make.

Help is just a click away. Check out the previews for Skip's Lynda.com series on "Starting a Photography Business" and "Pricing."

"Why?"

Check out "Why?" one of the most popular features on the SCU Blog. It's a very simple concept - one image, one artist and one short sound byte. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. There were fifty different artists featured in 2016 and we anticipate doubling that in 2017. Click on the link above and you can scroll through all of the episodes to date.
