It might not feel like it’s coming but spring will be here before we know it. The tradition of spring cleaning is a good one. We get the chance to make everything clean and fresh so we can approach our lives with renewed energy.

I know I’m telling you something you’re already aware of, but the well of potential employees is running dry. This is true for nearly every industry and service in Australia.

I wanted to create an eBook for emerging photographers, and I know it has been helpful to the many who have purchased it.
