We need to step up and work harder, be more creative & market more to succeed.

Some bad stuff happened this week with 28 photographers getting laid off from the Chicago Sun Times & Focus on Imaging getting shut down. I also answered questions about gear for weddings and pricing your photography. Don't forget about the Summertime photo contest on the forum, photos need to be submitted by 5pm EDT this Friday. Lastly I went through the contents of my Thinktank Shape Shifter bag which is my everyday laptop & carry bag. Keep shooting!
