Positive vs. Negative Photographers - Which Are You?

Have you ever been in a room with a whole bunch of positive people, and as a result, you walked away feeling optimistic and positive too? That was the scene at WPPI in Las Vegas last week, a trade show for wedding and portrait photographers. People were so positive, upbeat, and happy, that I needed to find out why.

This year, Allen and I decided to attend WPPI - but not by setting up a booth on the trade show floor. We just wanted to talk to people in a more pleasant atmosphere than a crowded and noisy show floor. We wanted to talk to people about their photography, their businesses, their outlook on the industry, and strategies for success - and felt that if we stepped out of sales-mode (which you really cannot escape if you're standing inside of a booth) we'd be able to learn a lot more simply because we'd have the time to listen.
