One of the great joys of living and working and growing up in the same community is that you develop lifelong relationships with the people and businesses and schools that you deal with.

Recently I was able to donate my photography skills to Washington Elementary school in Beaver Dam by doing an “all-school” portrait. The picture was done in the gym and included all of the kids and teachers and staff for the entire school. The picture was done to commemorate the winter Olympics. The school has a tradition of hosting fun, Olympic-style competitions at their school whenever the…

They were taking bags out and smelling/feeling around for something. Obviously we knew something wasn’t right and some of the passengers were getting restless.

Almost immediately, the pilot descended rapidly and stated we had to make an emergency landing. …

Adam and I are sitting in the Phoenix airport waiting for our flight back to Wisconsin. We attended a fantastic conference with leading school picture photographers from around the country. I served as a judge for the “friendly competition” of ten different teams during the conference.

While there, we learned about some the amazing new technologies that we will be able to offer our schools beginning already this spring. Most of it involves making it easier for our school picture customers to place their orders on-line. After all, this is where kids are “living” already. Customers will be able to…
