Start Learning Here
In taking a swig of my own medicine, this page should help you navigate the landscape of PartTimePhoto.com articles without the starstruck assistance of a sextant.
I try to take a holistic approach to helping folks like yourself find success in the part time photography business, writing about Art, Business, and Life – I am a living, breathing, working part time photographer and full time journalist, and I’m here to help.
The two best places to start are learning how to start your photography business and how to get your first client.

I am a big believer in Kaizen, Pareto’s Law, Occam’s Razor, Tim Ferriss, and George Patton.

What sucks for you today?
- “My bank account sucks.”
- “It sucks not knowing where to start.”
- “My locations suck.”
- “My clients suck.”
- “My watermark sucks.”
- “It sucks not having a single customer or clue what to do with them.”
- “My name sucks.”
- “My camera gear sucks.”
- “My clients’ choice of wardrobe sucks.”
- “My marketing sucks.”
- “My business sucks.”
- “My life sucks.”
Believe it or not, PTP all started back in 2009 with a horrible, horrible rap that served as a WordPress test post. Ignoring the testes and allusions to sexually transmitted disease, it gave rise to one of my favorite lines in all of PTP:
Go out today and be love, be joy, be blessed.
