BACKGROUND:

There is an unprecedented opportunity via these social networks to grow an audience and engage your fan base to support your success. However, few people really understand all the ways things like facebook can be used or how to use these tools effectively. 

I support my clients success by helping them learn how to use these social tools effectively. I also  specialize in create custom designs and media for engaging users and gaining exposure.

Obsessed with Facebook Infographic

It speaks for itself. People are crazy... and Facebook isn't going anywhere. Whether you are an artist or a business, you need to discover how to best utilize this "Obsession". I came across this info graphic while designing and coding a custom facebook page for one of my favorite clients (details to be released soon!). 

Which statistic did you find the most shocking?

Attention Photographers: Know Your Rights

Don't get pushed around by kangaroos (or police) who say you need their permission to exercise your rights as a photographer. 

Since 9/11 Americans have lost many civil liberties in the name of "security". One such liberty that is increasingly becoming an issue is the public's right to take photos. 

It may not have happened to you yet, but many photographers (including myself) have been told by authorities to stop taking photos in public areas where I know I have a legal right to use my camera. 

In fact, its gotten so bad that the ACLU have released a great article to help inform photographers of their rights.

The article includes great info like:

"When in public spaces where you are lawfully present you have the right to photograph anything that is in plain view. That includes pictures of federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police. Such photography is a form of public oversight over the government and is important in a free society." 

Read the whole article here, it's short and sweet and to the point:

And never forget to steer clear of violent kangaroos,
