Meeting with famed wedding photographer David Ziser

by Dave Warner on May 9, 2011

Just a short post because I’m working on some new content and podcasts (one of them should be up tomorrow morning). However, last weekend, I went up to Dallas to talk to famed wedding photographer David Ziser. Little did I know that he would feature my work and the meeting in his post today. Thanks David – you forced me to put something current up here! We had a great discussion about blogging, where podcasting might be going and a whole range of topics. It was a LOT of fun and I look forward to having him on the show again!
