A friend of mine sent an email yesterday after he had a read a book over the weekend that had profoundly affected him. I haven’t read it, but plan to take a look at it. I thought I would take a few of his thoughts and share them with you. First of all the book […]
Embrace the Freakness
One of the great things about putting on spa Event, is searching for new (at least to us) speakers to present information. When it comes to new speakers in photography it’s kind of tough because if someone is “out there” most everyone has heard or heard of them. When it comes to speakers from outside […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
Just want to write a quick note to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! After making some pumpkin pie and watching the parades, and the first few minutes of a horrible football game (aren’t all Thanksgiving games horrible…why is that?), I will going to my mom’s and hanging with her side of the family with Kia […]

What are you selling?

VeggieTales saga…
I just finished reading the biography of the creator of VeggieTales (direct to video animated kids series starring vegetables) and the founder of Big Idea – Phil Vischer. It was fascinating to me to read from several standpoints. First of all, Phil is a Christian and while the videos are not overtly, down your throat […]
