“I appreciated your portfolio review at CAPIC
(Toronto Chapter).
After repping over 23 years and watching people declare
bankruptcy, stealing intellectual property, total disregard for
copyright issues, fees falling and just watching the value of
the medium plummet like a lead weight has totally disheartened
many who have truly pledged an allegiance to this medium. To
hear a speaker come from the perspective of integrity towards
themselves and their industry especially during this time is
rare.
You had an
engaging, powerful and objective manner in addressing and
sharing the fundamental principals to enable the junior,
intermediate and established photographer to focus on the
possibilities that exist. Further you provided the tools for
them to navigate a successful path in realizing their success.
You also instilled the fact that photographers can learn that
they don't need to compromise their art nor their business in
order to realize their dreams.
This
perspective illustrates not just great skill but tremendous
professionalism and compassion for the medium.
You are one of the few
pioneers we have left Maria. We wish you continued great success
to you.”
