What's Your Price?
As a new photographer often times I find it hard to come up with good pricing. I want to get jobs to build a reputation and portfolio.

While a google search may give you some interesting results, here are two websites I have used to give me a good estimate on pricing.

I Saw Horses Stampeding Down My Road
One of my greatest web t.v. finds has been TED.com. It’s a must visit in my book. On TED.com I found videos of Seth Godin. Seth Godin has written 12 best sellers mainly over marketing. I find his ideas to be quite genius. You can check out his blog here.
Two ideas stuck out to me while watching his TED talks. One is to be remarkable. First, we must redefine remarkable as having the quality to...

Why Stay with Facebook?
Facebook is right now the premiere social networking site, but should you be on it? If you are greatly concerned about you privacy, probably not. Despite all the reasons why I would want to leave Facebook, here are the reasons why you should stay on.

I'm Not at Starbucks with Facebook
Facebook has launched Places. Places allows you to check into Facebook when you are out and about. Checking in allows your friends to see where you are. Places also allows you to check in your friends at places. Now these two mechanics happen a lot already. I use Foursquare, a check in service, to connect with friends here in Savannah. What I like about Foursquare is I have a tightly controlled...

Teachers on Facebook

So, I wanted to give my teacher...
