It’s been so long since I posted I nearly forgot how the dashboard works! Like riding a bike, I’ll be warmed up in no time.
I’m so excited to share the fantastic news about being ASPP’s next Executive Director. My thanks to Cathy Sachs, Michael Masterson and the ASPP Board for sweeping me into the position. A Presidential Appointment!
I will be in transition for the next several weeks but count on seeing and hearing from me here on my blog and throughout the photo community. Hooray!

If you haven’t been listening to the radio shows on Inside Digital Photo, now is great time to head over there! It’s all free, and you’ll get the latest news, in-depth interviews, product reviews, live event coverage and tips featuring special guests. Host Scott Sheppard interviewed me for his Oct 4, 2008 program where I give some tips and insights about how to develop and market book projects. The show is about 40 minutes long, and I’m in the second half around 19 minutes if you want to slide ahead.
Here is a September 2008 interview with me on After Capture about what it means to be a photographer’s consultant.
Part I: What She Does
Part II: How She Helps
