Self promotion is something rarely taught in photography school and most people are caught in the wilderness once they graduate, and for years after! Thanks for posting this.

I think if we want perfection we need ot look inward at our own stuff. I have spent the last three months researching, and much more because I want to sepnd the coming year focused on shooting and marketing. I think I have a lot of work to get there. I expect perfection which is unrealistic. No matter how hard I try I find typos, omitted words, etc. I took less than thirty seconds and the first thing I saw on your sight was a typo. I am sure you could do the same at my site. Point is what is the basic message. If I am so critical I would never read anything. I think there's good info and it has weight. Merry Christmas to you and yours. @John Fowler, Ah throwing rocks in your own glass house. I think if we want perfection we need ot look inward at our own stuff.

Did she get a chance to edit her remarks? Did someone else transcribe for her, like you would in a phone conversation that was legally recorded?

I'm sure that violates law number 8, or is it number 9? Anyway, thanks for sharing. @Michy Kant, I’m not sure that what you link to is the “right” kind of self promotion.
