One of my all-time favorite wedding & portrait photographers, Marcus Bell, just announced his new blog. Is it a coincidence that I recently wrote an article on blogging awhile back, and now Marcus has a new blog that’s off the hook? I know it’s probably been in the works for awhile, and its wishful thinking that someone of Marcus’s caliber (one of Austrailia’s top 3 photographers) would be reading my articles.
I don’t know about you, but I especially enjoyed looking at all his personal favorite photos, and also a ton of free e-seminars that Marcus gave, and there are links to them on his blog.
I’m working on a writing project right now that talks about how accessible top notch information is today for those wishing to go pro, and at such an
unprecedented rate. The line between information “haves” and “have nots” is disappearing… Creativity, imagination, ambition and suave personal skills are the key ingredients to reaching remarkable levels of success in the photography industry, and that is what will separate the wannabes from the diehards. It’s the diehards that can bring us average joe to tears with the single click of the shutter, and that’s who I want to shoot my family’s portraits.
Anyways, Marcus has amazing images, and is a photographer’s photographer. He wrote an amazing book a little over a year ago, and now has a blog that takes his personal work for photogaphers to the next level. I hope you check these out and use them to get inspired and work hard at being great.

Hey Steve! Just wishing you a happy New Year. I always enjoy your thoughts and candor
You stretch me and challenge me and I like that.
Many blessings to you this year!
