Blair's New E-Book:

"It is a real pleasure to write the forward for this book by our friend Blair Howard, who has helped a whole generation of photographers become more successful at selling their work. In fact, one of the many lessons that I’ve learned during my 25-year involvement with the photo industry is that great photographers aren’t necessarily good business people. And in today’s extremely competitive environment, your marketing skills are just as important as your artistic capabilities if you want to be successful..." Amazing Photos>>>

Strange-looking image, yes? Well, I think it's one of the best images I've made over the last 10 or 15 years. In fact, I like it so much I've a framed copy of it hanging in my office. What to you think? Comments!

Images of Sawgrass TPC Stadium Golf Course :

I've just returned from an assignment in Florida photograph and write about some of the famous golf courses. So, I thought you might like to see some of the images I made at Sawgrass. I stayed at the Sawgrass Marriott Resort & Spa at Ponte Vedra Beach right next to the TPC (Tournament Player's Club) course. The day was somewhat overcast, but there were patches of blue from time to time and it was cold, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy the images.
