Feb. 22, 2016 
Oh!
Last Monday was an overwhelmingly emotional day for me. I am stunned, grateful and enormously humbled by everyone's comments. While many comments were posted to my blog, even more were sent to me privately. I have not yet finished getting through them all. (Here's the original blog, if you haven't read it yet.)
If you haven't gotten a response from me, its simply because there were so many - I am far from caught up; for which I apologize. But it is difficult to read your wonderful thoughts without thinking how lucky I am.
All my life, I've wanted to do something that would make the world a better place. As a youngster I dreamed of doing something big and dramatic. However, Monday made me realize that it can be equally effective to change the world in smaller, more personal ways - one life at a time. Your comments teach a valuable lesson: What we do can affect the lives of people we've never met in significant, life-changing ways. I wish Hollywood would learn that.
To respond to those who asked, my decision was based on finances; thankfully, my health is excellent. I spent six months trying to find a buyer privately - with no success. Since Monday, we have received serious interest from three different companies which we are currently evaluating.
Based on everyone's comments, my goal is to find a long-term home for all my training and websites so that you'll have access to them for a long time to come. I'm not planning to go away - I'm having too much fun. I just need to figure out a way to get our finances straightened out.
For now, though, I'm off to London and BVE. All our training and websites remain active and online. And I'll have more on our continuing evolution in next week's newsletter.
Thank you. I'm more deeply touched, and grateful, than I can possibly express.

Planning a Shoot? Listen to Ned
Ned Soltz had a great segment on The Buzz last week. You need to listen.
A question we both get is "What's the Best Camera?" This is a great question, but the wrong question. Instead, you should be asking: "What's the right camera for my project?"
In this session, Ned shares his thoughts on great cameras for: action/outdoor, weddings, run-and-gun shooting, and filmmaking; all at a range or prices.
He also explains the REAL criteria you should use picking a camera. Listen to the show here.
