Is that Ethyl?

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

You’ve probably thinking that the blog looks a tad different than it did yesterday. You’re not hallucinating–it is different. It’s been renamed Super Premium, to keep with the auto-related motif, it has a new image to go with the name, and places I like to visit and/or which inspire me are now listed on the right, under Blog Injectors.

Thanks to JCBurns, my brother & Mac/tech guru for his help in making this happen.

As for the content, no change there–it will continue to be my thoughts, ideas, and position paper-ish tirades. Hopefully, more of you will gird ‘em up and start commenting with those who already have. It’s great to have some form of dialogue and I sincerely like and appreciate the thoughts and opinions of others.

(Btw, here’s what Ethyl is, for those who don’t know)

I’d rather have the lolly

Seth Godin tells us how to make a million dollars. I know a lot of photographers who need to read this, internalize it, and start acting like they really get it.
Not you, I’m sure. ;-)

Newsweek, via MSNBC, has an interesting article on luxury products and services. Note how the folks with money are not only willing to pay more, they are wanting to pay more, if it means they get something special.

Photography and other creative services are perfect for this–the best clients not only have money, they have lots of it and not everyone can do what you can do.
