THE GOOD Ol’ DAYS -- Making A Living with Nature Photography - –“Can You Really Quit Your Day Job?” George Lepp: "Many photographers dream of making a good living doing what they love most: photographing in the great outdoors. Imagine spending every day, from brilliant sunrise to glorious sunset, pursuing works of art that will have magazine editors, collectors, and galleries clamoring (and ready to pay top dollar) for your highly composed, brightly colored and distinctive imagery.

PHOTO WALL: Getting Mod(ular) with your Photography Website – Michelle Seekamp: “Display options can reasonably be broken down into three over-arching categories: slideshow, static image, and multiple image display (what we fondly call the Photo Wall). We recently asked our Facebook community to chime in and let us know which of these three they were currently using on their homepage. Here's what they told us in this informal poll.
