DWF Convention?
dwfDWF Founder Jeff Caplan is asking the membership for help in creating a community-based 2011 convention.

Instead of focusing on Big Names! the question is whether DWF members would want to attend a grassroots event featuring dozens of seminars led by active DWF members- members who have specific areas of expertise. DWF members have voiced a lot of disappointment that there wouldn’t be a 2011 convention. If there’s sufficient interest, the DWF will reverse the “no convention” decision and create an event..

Pardon me, I was Distracted

One DWF Pro talks about his journey as a photographer with ADD. How they're treating it? What works? What doesn't? DWF Pros share their experiences.
