Bicycle Photography: Riding to the Addy Awards
February 21st, 2012Last month, I received word that my recently published bike-tography book had won an Addy Award from the Tucson Advertising Federation. What kind of Addy? A Gold, Silver, or Bronze? The notification e-mail didn't say.
But, since bike-tography is the act of combining bicycling with photography, I embarked on a bike-tographic expedition to the Fox Tucson Theatre. The goal: To uncover the type of Addy being awarded...
In keeping with the minimalist, "use what you have on hand" philosophy of bike-tography, I traveled light. Just one camera and lens in that pack...
Since my ride to the Addys was a solo journey, I had to take my own photo. The bike's rear view mirror came in handy for such a shot...
Looks like it's starting to get dark, and the area around the Fox Tucson Theatre isn't the most hopping part of Downtown. So, what's up with the jam-packed bike rack?
I couldn't find a place to park on Congress Street to save my life. The bike ended up at one of the few racks on Stone Avenue near Congress.
Into the Fox I went. Found my book among all the other entries, and guess what? It won a Silver Addy...

Freelancer’s Guide to Starting a Successful Photography Business
January 27th, 2012While the Internet is full of advice on how to take better pictures, information on the business side of photography can be hard to come by.
To fill this void, I created the Freelancer's Guide to Starting a Successful Photography Business. It showcases more than 50 resources that will help freelancers learn professional business practices in photography, find photography buyers, and improve their photographic skills.
Every book, blog, or website in this Freelancer's Guide is one that I've found useful in my own photographic career. And, since I have a no-kickback policy, I recommend each of them freely. No one is paying me to say nice things about them.
Released as a downloadable file, the Freelancer’s Guide to Starting a Successful Photography Business is offered exclusively via the Envato Tuts+ Marketplace. The retail price is $15.00.
This is the second eBook in my Freelancer's Guide series. The first, the Freelancer's Guide to Finding Clients, shows how to find clients via cold calls, warm calls, and e-mails. It also is available via the Tuts+ Marketplace and retails for $15.00.

Freelancer’s Guide to Finding Clients
November 3rd, 2010I've just published the Freelancer's Guide to Finding Clients.
It isn't filled with pie-in-the-sky theoretical stuff. Instead, this Guide is based on techniques that freelancers are actually using.
Like cold calling.
While it's true that cold calling has a bad reputation – and the Guide explains why that reputation is deserved – it can be a very effective way to find buyers for your services.
In my freelancing business, cold calling has led me to a much more interesting and better paying clientele than I’ve ever had before. The Freelancer’s Guide to Finding Clients will show you how to do it too.
If cold calling seems a bit, well, cold, the Guide also covers warm calling. That's reaching out to people you already know. Some of them might need your freelancing talents. And you'll never know how many of them do unless you ask them, right? This Guide will show you how to do it.
