October meeting preview

Exciting times for the DC PUG! October's meeting (Monday, October 15 @ 7:00pm) will be a combined DC/Baltimore PUG meeting featuring a visit from Mike Larson - an internationally acclaimed and published photographer who does amazing work. Here is a preview of his presentation:

Do not let your business be your life, but let your business support your lifestyle. At some point, as a business owner you must choose what you can and cannot do. One thing you cannot do is everything… especially as your business grows.

Whether you desire volume, profit or more freedom, Pictage offers the online tools and resources to save you HUGE amounts of time. As a result, you can be more efficient, and have more time to develop relationships with your clients and other colleagues in the industry. This also allows you to provide more value to your clients through the innovative product offerings and options that Pictage provides.

Dream of your future goals, and free-up time to spend developing them—rather than developing 4×6 print orders in the digital darkroom. You’ll have a higher profit in the long run if you invest in yourself by focusing on exactly what you’re good at, and “right-sourcing” the rest. With the time you save, you’ll have a whole lot left over to give to everyone else, especially your family.

Sound interesting? yeah, thought so...so sign up today to reserve your seat!

September meeting

Thanks to everyone who came out for the September meeting where we got a chance to review the new Pictage user experience. I think we were all pleased that they've listened to some of our comments and suggestions and the ultimate result is a better experience for all of our clients. Thanks also to Kevin Kennedy for sharing his work in the studio spotlight.

I hope everyone likes the new blog - I thought it was time we had a space for everyone to share. I welcome any and all feedback on the blog as well as upcoming topics for the meetings. I know it is going to be a busy fall and holiday season but I hope that we can all find the time to continue getting together to share each month.

Next month's meeting is Monday, October 15th at 7:00pm. Please RSVP so we can buy some snacks.
