My first blog

Period. Don't tell anyone, but I googled "blog" before starting this series.

Photography is my hobby, and it is also my profession. Pretty lucky. I was inspired to start a blog because I am hoping that some of these articles, photos, and ideas will get folks to start thinking about specialty cameras stores.

When I started repping during the 1990's, there were about 200 camera stores in Northern California. Los Altos, a small upscale town, had 4 camera stores! Hanford had one; towns that you probably never heard of had camera stores. Today, I call on about 20 specialty camera stores in Northern California and Northern Nevada.

It is my contention that the majority of smart phone camera users do not go into camera stores. If they did, the entrance door ringer would ding about 100 more times each day. Which brings me to my first non-introductory post, "Why do I need a camera when my phone has a camera?" Stay tuned and thanks for reading.
