April Fools
lifeLast week, our lead story in the DWF Newsletter was about an uber expensive lifetime membership plan, in which we urged you to mortgage your future and join the DWF til death.

Anyone who clicked the link got the joke, but people are still asking about lifetime membership a week later. If you have a spare $1290 lying around, the DWF doesn't have a lifetime membership plan, but if you have a spare $1290 lying around-- we suggest a tropical vacation. And many thanks to the member who asked about an afterlife membership.

 

Adobe: Free Webinars
adobeAdobe has asked us to let DWF members know about a series of free webinars on using Lightroom 2, and CS4. The first webinar takes place tomorrow, April 9th at 10 am Pacific time, featuring DWF Convention speaker Julianne Kost. There are three more web events scheduled over the coming month.

Tip: You have to register before the webinar starts.

 

Come Together!
gtgAny given week, DWF members are getting together all over the globe.

Live interaction and networking are more important than ever-- so don't be shy! Sometimes it's drinks, sometimes it's dinner. It's always worth being a part of! Visit the DWF Home Forum and find out about GTG's in Atlanta; Northants, UK; Scotland, Seattle, Minneapolis and more than a dozen other cities!


Photog Shootout Video Live
shootoutShoot, Learn, Laugh. It's a simple slogan for a simple event, the Photog Shootout.

Started by DWF Member Rob Nicholson the Photog Shootouts are free events that are getting some major grassroots support from the photographic community. Be sure to login and checkout the most recent Photog Shootout video from Atlantic City to see what the hype is all about.


DWF Pro Discount Page Redesign
lifeWe've heard your comments and criticisms of the DWF Discount page, so now we're taking action! That's right, the ailing Discount page is getting a much needed face lift.

But the changes aren't only cosmetic! We're also ushering in a host of changes in policies for how discount listings are given. The net effect? DWF Members will have what the discount page was originally intended for, a great place to find substantial money saving offers available only to DWF members! Be sure to watch the newsletter in the coming weeks for more details and announcements about some of the exciting discounts that will be available for DWF Pro members exclusively!

 

George Weir's Workshop - 20% Off
weirGeorge Weir, longtime DWF member and educator is offering a great workshop series entitled "Sees, Shoots and Leaves." and it's all about learning more about  George's guerilla techniques for a no-excuses straight-forward approach to shooting weddings with confidence and style. Even better, George is even going one better by offering an exclusive discount only to DWF members. Don't wait, the next workshop series is coming up April 20th and 21st.


Photography with Altitude
balloonThat's right. Some DWF members shoot photography with attitude, others, like Vanessa Hall from Melbourne, Australia shoot photography with Altitude.

Check out lots of shots from a wedding that took place in the basket of a hot air balloon.


DWF Featured Member - Critsey Rowe
critseyDWF Featured member Critsey Rowe is probably best known for her amazing boudoir photography.

Critsey began her professional photography career shooting weddings but her Couture Boudoir brand has really taken off and landed her jobs across the country and abroad. Did you know that she's also married to DWF member Thomas Geist


Twitter Account Name Squatting
twitterTwitter gets about 10,000 new accounts every day. Since registering a Twitter name is free, it's no surprise that people are snapping them up like free domain names. Even if you're not using Twitter and never intend to, you might not want someone registering and using your name or business name.

There is a great thread bouncing around in PRO Business explaining why it's at least a good idea to get your Twitter name snapped up--even if you don't plan on ever using it.
