On Friday, April 29, 2011 I went to Chicago. I spoke in front a room full of people about me. This is not normal. The American Society of Picture Professionals (aspp.com) asked me to speak during there day long educational event. Actually, it was George Sinclair who asked me to do the talk. He even made up a topic for me to speak on. “Merging multiple careers and Multitasking” was my topic.
The presentation went off without a hitch. I had fun. The audience had fun. And I think everyone learned a little something.
I learned that I am better at public speaking than I thought. For this event, I brought one of those portable audio recorders. And, after listening to it post-event, I did well. All in all, the talk was a very good experience.

A new Post “The Arc Of Your Careeer” was written on the April 15, 2011 at 8:42 am on “A Photo Editor”.
The arc of a career is like climbing a tree. You could climb straight up and get to the top, but you would have missed the potential exploration of each of the branches. And I think that’s when the magic is revealed. That’s when you really start to look and you start to take it past where you’ve been.
