Great Threads on the DWF
Faves of 2007
Faves
If you've been focusing more on business than art or just need a little inspiration, there's a thread running in the Pro Art forum that's definitely worth checking out every few days. Many DWF members have contributed their own favorite or best shot, and the results, as they always are on the DWF, are extraordinary, but they are also very personal and emotional.
DWF Featured Member: Angelica Glass
Angelica Glass

For someone in her twenties, Angelica Glass seems to have achieved something it takes most people many more years to gain: a strong sense of self. That comes through clearly in her interview and it infuses her photography. She is not afraid to take chances; anyone who shoots their first paid wedding by accident has to be fearless, and yet, she'll tell you she is terrified everyday that she is not doing right by her clients. Her motto: I will outshine them all.

No Hocus Pocus
David A. Williams

David Williams left hundreds of photographers with tears in their eyes at DWF 2008 in Tampa. Not because of his new Photoshop actions, nor because of his dazzling post-production techniques. It was elementary and basic- he drove home in a deeply personal way that pictures tell a story.

David is committed to the art of great picture making- and as he begins a new series of Almost Alone workshops, we thought it important to let you know that in three days, David offers years worth of knowledge about using light, vision-- and the hardest thing to teach- using your heart and soul to provide your clients meaningful -and beautiful- prints, albums, and portraits.

Want to produce better work, and brighten your outlook? Want to feel like you've finally arrived? Read more about David Williams and Almost Alone- coming very soon to the US and UK.

Extending the Family Product Line
MansionIt's long been recognized as a smart marketing move to stay in touch with a wedding couple, to pick up anniversary, maternity, baby and senior photos as the years roll on. Now, savvy photographers have one more subject to shoot: the house. The New York Times reports that not only are houses patient subjects to work with, but clients seem willing to spend generously.
Rugged Weather Weddings

I guess we know what photographers do during the slow season! Sam Anise reports he and his wife are expecting twins sometime around the end of May, and congratulations to Hillary Gardner, who is expecting a little Halloween baby. Don't forget, Feb. 29th is a Day in the Life of the DWF, coordinated by DWF member Peter Finger.
