If you’re not a photo-nerd like me, you may not have heard the recent comment by Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer claiming professional photographers simply don’t exist anymore. ……..guffah……stab me in the eye with a pencil…….etc Yahoo, which owns the incredibly popular, if not over-saturated, Flickr said this: “There’s no such thing as Flickr Pro today because [...]

Happy Father’s Day from everyone here at the studio. Go celebrate the father’s that bring substance, love, and humility to your life.
