How quickly everything happens!

What advice would you give to someone just beginning their career as a photographer?

Concentrate on your business, without it your creativity won't be rewarded.

Create and implement a solid marketing plan; other people need to know you exist.

Approach this creatively and you'll stand out from the crowd.

Concentrate on your technique and strive for measured improvement!

Be a sponge, absorb as much as you can. Ask questions of everyone and anyone who'll listen.

Go to as many seminars and workshops as you can. Find the business and creative leaders that inspire you and study with them.

Connect with your peers! Become part of the community (join DWF! if weddings are your market) and learn from those around you.

Surround yourself with talented and inspiring people.

Look at as much photography as you can. Verbalize what you like, dislike, and why.

Never stop learning and seeing things differently.
