One of things I love about the photo industry is the odd mix of permanent fixtures and quickly changing norms. If you're a photographer, you'd understand what I'm talking about. Clients still want the best, and photographers must learn to adapt to new, fresh, techy elements to our businesses. I'll never forget telling another photographer three years ago I didn't want to use Twitter because it felt like a fad…this proves why a career in fortune-telling would have been disastrous for me.

Another thing to change the industry has been the role creativeLIVE has played in online education. There is now an abundance of free information available and it's democratized education.

In light of this, I'm exxxxxcited to join forces and present cL Spotlight, an opportunity for any photographer to submit a presentation proposal to get his/her own full course.

That's right…make a video proposal less than three minutes and submit it on THIS PAGE for a chance to present to a panel of industry professionals and photographers…and hopefully get a course all your own! The deadline to submit is February 15, 2013…a week from today!

Good luck and I hope to see you in Las Vegas!
