Great video guys. I think the tip about specialising and concentrating on a niche is something that many photographers miss.

Can't agree more. Kick him out next time!

That guy with the gun talks just a little too much- otherwise good show

Just watched this variety hour and it was very interesting Trey. What I did find interesting is how the photographers in the meeting group said they more or less fell into photography as part of a journey in there interest. I assumed that many photographers chose that as more a career move like many professions. After listening to the speakers and thinking about this it does make perfect sense really.

I look forward to joining the future session.
