Debra Rothenberg – Living the Photographer’s Dream
If you published an award-winning book on one of the hottest musicians in the world that is selling like hotcakes, would you donate every single cent of the profits? That is what Debra Rothenberg is doing, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg of her giving nature. The explanation is simple. “I like helping people because I didn’t have people helping me,” she said. It took her 17 years of “blood, sweat, and tears” to be at ease with her work and if she had help it wouldn’t have taken that long to get comfortable.

It always takes a village to pull these events off and afterward there’s [continue reading...]

Fabulous! Flo Fox at PWP
Last night a photo queen graced PWP with her presence. Dressed in red velvet with flowing blue hair, Flo Fox, with her images, wit, and wisdom held the room at St. Paul the Apostle Church spellbound. Fox began taking pictures in 1972, right after she “split from her ex.€ With money from her first paycheck as a costume designer, she bought an SLR and never looked back. She had been promised one earlier by her mother, “when you graduate ninth grade.€ But her mother died before this could happen.
