DWFPPAPMAWPPI Help!
blogWhen you look at the various photography organizations to join, it can seem like a bowl of alphabet soup.

Since DWF members frequently ask each other which organizations bring the most benefit to their members, we thought we’d point out a blog article by former WPPI President Skip Cohen.

After growing that organization by leaps and bounds over the past decade, Skip is in a unique position to provide insight about photography organizations and what they can offer. Visit his blog!

Oh My Gawd I'm So Fat!
fatYou’ve heard that line, haven’t you? Your client looks at her photos and FREAKS. The question is posed by one photographer, “How do you respond?”

In between a few funny comments from PRO’s who’ve heard it all, you’ll find some stellar suggestions for managing clients who go into melt-down mode when they catch sight of a crease in their necks.

New Book by DWF Member
neilAfter a lot of sweat and even tears, the long-awaited book by DWF resident flash expert Neil van Niekerk is being released this week! And what’s a book release without one of those glass clinking book parties?

Neil’s will be held at Unique Photo in New Jersey on August 20th, at 7pm. All DWF members are invited.

Just a Tweet Away
tweetWe must say that we're simply overwhelmed by just how many photographers use twitter on a daily basis. Almost 1900 fellow photographers follow the DWF twitter feed already.

So why should you follow the us:

We post important DWF forum, DWF Blog and DWF U information so you won't miss the big discussions, the freshest lesson or the hottest deals. We'll also update twitter with DWF technical support info, post advance copies of the newsletter and most importantly if you say something that catches our eye we'll be more than happy to retweet your 140 character nugget of photographer goodness to the masses.

Zookbinders Goes Super-Sized!
zookZookbinders has just announced the release of its new upgraded and super-sized album line, the PhotoBook PLUS, featuring larger album sizes and thicker pages at about half the cost of the finest leather albums. The PhotoBook PLUS is available in sizes that are ideal as primary albums, with 32 leather colors, wraparound styles, and much more.

Zookbinders CEO Mark Zucker says “These beautiful albums are printed on HP Indigos and are ideal for the client who appreciates above-average quality at an affordable price.”

Featured Members - Rob and Lauren
robDWF PRO members Rob Lim & Lauren Simpson ooze that young, cool and hip photographer vibe in their work but, when talking about business they speak with the wisdom of someone who's been at this for decades.

In our Featured Member interview they offer the following advice, "If photography is your passion, pursue it with 110% of yourself. Never be satisfied with "good" work, and strive for something truly transcendent."
