If you’re a photographer who wants to succeed, don’t be like people who (for whatever reason) spend energy hoping others fail.

Yep I am Giving Away an iPad
I happen to think that the Apple iPad will be AT THE VERY LEAST a great way for photographers to show off their portfolio. So, I will give away the top-of-the-line iPad (699 retail value) to one of my followers within 15 days of the commercial launch of the product. Please note that the first wave of iPads won’t come with the 3G module so this unit will go online in Wi-Fi hot spots only. ...
My pal Eric Howell is a gr8 filmmaker - check out his vid & vote for it if you like. “Vol de Cinema” http://bit.ly/aIA3V5
Photographers WILL be able to download images directly to #iPad - Camera Connection Kit will be sold separately w/USB & SD card connections
What the Apple Tablet Will Mean to Photographers →
Apple’s new tablet may be just the ticket for serious photographers. Like all things Apple, it’s cool, well-designed, pretty and yes, expensive if you order the top-of-the-line model,…
If you have (or been looking 4 an excuse 2 buy) Verizon MIFI no need 4 3G option on the new #iPad. Look at it as a $30monthly rebate on MIFI
The biggest surprise 4 me about the #iPad is the price - lower than I expected it to be. Can’t wait to get mine and the one I’m giving away!

When Mobs Attack
Recently, a person who was VERY unhappy with my stance on photographers holding their fees to be in line with industry norms said I was a racist for quoting this article: http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/ucm143561.htm Anyone who actually knows me knows that I am anything but a racist. My half sister is from Mexico!!! She is 50% Mexican blood and there’s nobody on this...
I’ll be on TWIT tomorrow around 3:30 PST with @alexlindsay talking about the tablet announcement - twitlive.tv
It’s official. Within 15 days of the iPad’s retail avail I will give 1 away randomly. ANYONE 18+ who follows me on Twitter is eligible.
I have been thinking - maybe I will just buy two Apple tablets and give one away to a random follower. What’s everyone think of that idea?
Thanks to everyone who listened to live @lensflare35 show on hybrid/fusion DSLRs. Thx to all who RT the event too. It was fun.
Trying to devise a strategy to place the soonest possible order for the new Apple tablet. Have to buy it to review it so why not quickly :)
