Our interview with Sandy Puc for the Joy to the World Websummit!
“I push the shutter because at that moment, it is only about how I feel. Not what I see. Those feelings cannot be captured, they live in my heart. The final images are just a memorial to the moment and the feelings I had. They remind me that I was and still am alive….” That was a quote from Sandy Puc, one of our 28 featured speakers in the Joy to the World Websummit, as she describes what she feels when she takes a photograph.

Joy to the World Websummit interview with David Jay
I asked the fabulous David Jay, top photographer, speaker and educator a few questions recently when we were preparing for him to participate in The Joy to the World Websummit.
Small Business Ideas For Education
I subscribe to a lot of magazines. What can I say…I’m a sucker for the glossy images and the advice-filled articles. I’m intoxicated by all the new ideas (whether it be for dinner tonight or what to wear to that wedding next month). I get excited thinking about the hours of entertainment I get from looking at what other businesses are doing or what the hottest celebrity wore to the big awards.
Update Your Photography Branding
If you’re thinking about rebranding simply because you no longer like the way your font looks or are just bored with the look of your logo, then it’s time to slow down and reconsider. Dramatic changes to your brand just because you feel like spicing things up can create a really big mess. Keep in mind that just because you’re bored with your logo doesn’t mean everyone else is.
The first question to ask yourself is why do you want to rebrand?
