President’s Message
Become % the 5 ! By Randy Van Duinen M.Photog. M.Artist. Cr. CPP FDPE FDAE FSA
I’ve just come back from imaging USA and feel invigorated with what I’ve learned and experienced at the conference. It was great seeing friends I haven’t seen in a while and this year was extra special as my brother, who is a photographer in Michigan, joined me for the first time. I made sure that I went to classes that dealt with business, social media and took a lot away from those classes, but here’s the thing, if you don’t act on what you learn right after you come back from a conference you never will. Statistically only 5% of the conference attendees will actually put to use what they learned while the rest will get mired in every day work that has to be done and overwhelms us all. If you don’t make a plan of action to put in place any of the great ideas you learn or came away with you basically just went and saw friends, new equipment and went to a few parties. Before you get too far away from Nashville take a moment and go through your notes, refresh your memory and make a plan. If you only put into action five of the most important things you learned you will become that 5% and will be ahead of everyone else. I’d rather be in the 5% then in the 95% that does nothing.
We have a great speaker in February with Jason Schappert and learning what you have to do to fly a drone legally. And legally is the big word here, if you use a drone for commercial purposes you need to have your 107 license from the FAA, if you don’t you make yourself liable to large fines. Jason’s going to go over all this information and at the end of this program have time to answer any of your questions you may have on this process.
Best, Randy
