ASMP National now has a business blog!!!

Hopefully you subscribe to my blog. I always try to put stuff up here that is important and has bearing on either your progression as a photographer, being creative or in the business life of photography.

More importantly though is the blog that has just been announced. 


I can't speak high enough about this group of people. They are a perfect example of our industry leaders. They don't just talk the talk, they walk it as well. 

Too many times I have found myself having conversations with people that continue to loose their faith in themselves and their business. They compromise too much and end up selling themselves short on too many occasions. This is dangerous. It causes a chain of events that can (and many time will) lead to a photographer hating his "JOB" despising others for their success and eventually being out of business. 

How many people out there 
1. Have ever done work for hire?
2. Still do work for hire?
3. Even know what Work for hire means and how damaging it is?

How many know about the world's largest advertising agency holding company and their recent change to their contracts with photographers. This change is dangerous and reckless and you can be damn sure that other agencies are going to start copying this. If you aren't actively involved with knowing what is going on with your industry, then how are you going to stay afloat?

Seriously, is there any other business industry out there today that does not have to keep up with changes in the industry? A doctor has to learn new advances, a lawyer/new laws, car mechanic/ new cars, etc.
