Help is on the way

Hamlin Lake, Kajsa Stolberg

I’m a list kind of guy.  There’s something to be said about crossing things off a list.  I can’t explain it, but it’s probably part of my twisted perception about achieving goals..;)  I’ve become so bad about creating lists that people are starting to tease me that I have a list for my list.   One item I’ve had on my list for quite some time is to find an assistant to help keep me organized with some of the larger projects.  Well, I got lucky and found myself a bright willing “sucker”…I mean “participant” to help keep me on task.

I’ve asked my new internship “winner”,  Kajsa (pronounced: ka-i-sa)  to say a few words:

I am very excited to be working with John and learning from his talent and experience.  I got hooked on photography after a class in college had me exploring off campus and working in the darkroom.  During my final year, I found the satisfaction of sharing my work when I completed a photographic study of an Amish family near my hometown in Michigan.  From that project, I learned how to observe different lifestyles and turn my observations into an artistic installation.  I have spent the last five years traveling around the world and I always carry my camera wherever I go.  I am now in Michigan after living two years in a small town in Japan.  If I’m not doing something related to photography or living out of a backpack, you can usually find me experimenting in the kitchen, riding my bike, or watching a good movie.

My intention is to have Kajsa start blogging on Saturdays, so keep an eye out for her.  And please make “Kajsa” feel at home and wish her the best of luck!

Side note:

If you have an iPhone make sure to download the Photoshop.com Mobile photography application.  Everyone knows I love Chase Jarvis’s Best Camera application, but I’m going to tell you Photoshop’s application is very nice and very FREE!  Check it out. I know you’re going to love it.

Oh wait, there’s more!   For those of you looking to get a solid book to read about running a Photography Business, I suggest picking up a copy of “Best Business Practices for Photographers“, by John Harrington.  There’s just a ton of good information in this book.

Lastly,  remember to upload your black and whites to our photo contest….We’re getting some great entries and I want to see more!
