Leadership and ISES Eventworld
Coming off attending ISES Eventworld, it was fortuitous that the book I brought to read on my flight was Leadership Gold by John Maxwell. As a board member of the ISES-NCC chapter, we attended the conference early for some of the leadership training and I found that to be very useful.
The best thing about getting involved with an industry […]
Event photography is great cardio!
This past weekend we covered Venue Connect 2012 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the IAVM. It occurred to me during the event that we, as event photographers, do a lot of walking when we shoot.

Museums are great because they can bring you back to the past, but a good museum can also propel you into the future or at least make you think about it. The Computer History Museum does just that and we’ve shot all kinds of events there from an Audi test drive event in the parking lot to numerous tech parties. The museum […]
