Throwbacks to High School...Just a "Few" Years Later!

Sometimes, you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
Dr. Seuss

We're approaching high school graduation time. Every few years, it's a lot of fun to do a Throwback Thursday post featuring some well-known members of the imaging community before they became photographers, educators, writers, mentors and cheerleaders for an industry we all love.

This is just the first installment from the SCU archives, but there are lots more new ones coming. My only hint is Eddie Tapp in the lead-off spot. Why? Besides being a really good buddy like the other featured artists today, he showed me the receipt he had for his first Hasselblad for $500 — right out of high school! While so many of us always loved photography, very few knew it was what we wanted for a career.

The who's who is below. But in the meantime, the senior market continues to be one of the fastest growing specialties in imaging. The images above show one of the past changes from black and white to color for a few of us who are a little more "seasoned."

As I've written before, Throwback Thursday is a perfect marketing tool for you to share with your target audience. It's a great way to remind Mom that it's time for a new family portrait while having some fun with old photographs. You're the messenger, and you need to plant a few seeds of ideas about how fast kids grow up.
There are only 940 Saturdays between a child’s birth and her leaving for college.

Happy Throwback Thursday!


Who's who? Eddie Tapp, Bobbi Lane, Skip Cohen, Cindy Harter Sims, Roberto Valenzuela, Kenny Kim, Brent Watkins, Lori Nordstrom​.

    "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 bite. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. We're over 130 artists featured since the project started. Click on the link above and you can scroll through all of the episodes to date.
