Catching Up

Now that I’m back from a great trip to Ireland, I wanted to post two photos I made last month at the New England Institute of Professional Photography, where I was honored to share teaching duties with Beverly and Tim Walden. I had a wonderful group at NEIPP this year, and I’m sorry that I had to take an early flight back home in order to pack for Ireland.

This year the school was held in Hyannis, on Cape Cod. As always, the school was a beehive of activity, and I particularly enjoyed an after-class opportunity to learn about some of the features of my new Canon 5D Mark II . . . my Christmas present that I’m still learning about. So getting to listen to a Canon tech rep was quite helpful.



Another great after-class opportunity was an evening program presented by Andover, Massachusetts Master Photographer Ed Pedi, assisted by his wife and business partner, Linda, shown below. I met Ed for the first time at a day-long class I presented to the Professional Photographers of Cape Cod on the eve of the NEIPP school. The PPOCC photographers are a very lively, friendly, and hospitable group, and they recommended Ed’s class to me. No wonder: Ed received a standing ovation from a full house for his outstanding program! With great good humor, Ed presented one of the best nuts-and-bolts business programs on how to build a first-class family portrait business that I’ve seen in years. If your association is looking for a great speaker, I strongly recommend Ed Pedi. Visit his website by clicking here.
