The book that I have been refering to, it's not a sells book. It's a book about the business side of photography. I do understand that what worked for him may not work for me. But, I also think it's a good idea to at least think about what made him successful. I will do some of the thing that he says and there are things that I will probably do differently. One of the things he said stuck with me...

'I don't want to be the Walmart version of photography. Nor do I want to be the Target version. I want to be the Nordstrom, Saks, Tiffany, or other high-end exclusive boutique version of photography. Further I believe that's the level of service, qualiy, and commitment I bring to each assignment.'

I think those are good words/idea to follow...

I don't think Nordstrom clients are on CL... Do you see my point?
