Throwback Thursday - WPPI 2004 - Recognize Anybody?

4/23/2015

The only thing I know for sure is the year, 2004, and the location, WPPI, Las Vegas. At first I thought it was print judging, but there are a few people in here who didn't normally judge. I think it's speakers from that year, just don't remember everybody being together in one room. The image is thanks to Alan Karlin in a couple of books of WPPI images he sent me after the convention.

Nothing beats the fun of Throwback Thursdays and some times it doesn't matter what the reason was for a group to be together...however, look closely, this one is global with some of the most recognized educators in our industry. It's almost like a "Where's Waldo" drawing...

So, how many can you name? I'm up to forty six, including three mullets!

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.
