I think back to the old says, where a handful of us pros would occasionally bump into each other at the lab, picking up our film. If the right combination of people showed up, we might h ave a 5 min conversation about the local market. Otherwise you were on your own! Since you mentioned APE,... what are you're thoughts on the conversation over there regarding the tracking of stats with email blasts? He kinda thought it was stalkerish and creepy, the way some photogs follow up with him. let the games begin! :-)

It started out being non-participatory and just reading what others had to say and searching for the answers on how to fix my computer (it was a PC at the time). Then as I became more knowledgeable and confident I began to contribute a lot. I'm at that initial stage now, as I'm jumping in with both feet into this industry, and I'll finally be able to officially write about it on my own blog as of tomorrow. And you're right, APE, Heather Morton, yourself, and so many others have provided an enormous service to anyone reading what you all are putting out there. You are being a mentor to more people than you realize... but I guess you can always check your blog stats.
