Business Looking Up?
dwfNot that we’ll be lighting cigars with $100 bills.. but in the Pro Marketing & Sales Forum, DWF members are comparing notes on wedding trends for 2011.

There seems to be a consensus that a sweeter year is on the way. A lot of professionals will appreciate your contribution to the discussion. Members talk about prices, bookings, and more..
 

More Good Things?
dwfWe set-up the DWF Success Forum a few weeks ago, because it’s important to see that photographers ARE meeting challenges and savoring success-- even in a competitive world that seemed so dark for so many studios a few short months ago.

Mystery of the Stolen Gearbag
dwfMaybe you read about the member who loaned her equipment out, only to discover it was stolen while loaned out.

There’s a new twist to the whodunit of the year, as our DWF member discovered someone selling her gear on the street. DWF member are STILL trying to unwind the caper. Join the discussion. And get yourself some gear insurance. Really
 

Featured Member Chris Mann
dwfWhen asked about his career in photography DWF Pro member Chris Mann took a winding road to get where he is today.

From studying archaeology and ancient history to selling fireplaces and writing sketch comedy Chris had pretty much done it all before settling on photography as a career choice. Read more in our exclusive interview on the DWF photography blog.

Just 11 Days Til...
dwfLess than two weeks til DWF Convention 2011 sponsored by Simply Color Lab!

As everyone gets ready to pack, daytime temperatures are running between 53 and 70 degrees in San Antonio. Hopefully perfect weather for the Jerry Ghionis live shoot on the Riverwalk, the member shoots, and the partyin.. uh.. networking.

Pushing Yourself
dwfDWF Member Edward Ross decided to avoid burnout by pushing his creativity to the limit.

Since September, he’s been sharing his experimental shots from weddings -- both hits and misses-- and wants you to share your creative stretches. Are you challenging yourself? It’s show & tell time, people..

dwfVisit the DWF Pro Fusion forum! You’ll find awesome examples of fusion work, and recently posted: A boatload of video tutorials from Still Motion Canada, on topics ranging from how to do audio with a DSLR, to shooting a ceremony, lens selection, shutter speed, and more.
