think tank logo, affiliate link

Once you have some nice gear, itā€™s time to start thinking about how to actually protect it and take it with you in the most convenient and practical way possible. Back in 2008, I picked up a couple of the really amazing rolling cases at *Think Tank Photo ā€” one for international travel, and one for domestic. Theyā€™re SO solid, Iā€™m still using them and grateful every day for such a well-designed and well-built product! Added the memory card wallet and some other accessories over the years, too. Iā€™ve told so many people about them, theyā€™ve set me up with an affiliate* link, which you can use to get an even better deal than normal on their website, if you *click here, or on the company name or logo above. Or enter the affiliate codeĀ 1033834.aaf246 at checkout. The deal changes every so often, so check back if you like, and see how the offer changes. As I type this now, itā€™s free ground shipping on orders over $50, plus your choice of a free gift.

airbnb logo with my special link

The term ā€œshare economyā€ is bounced around a lot and Iā€™m here to tell you that Iā€™m on board. Lyft, Uber and now *airbnbā€¦ Iā€™m loving the idea of under-utilized resources being made available to actually be profitable. Plus, Iā€™m such a ā€œpeople-personā€ that meeting new and interesting people consistently fascinates me. Any time I can, I use airbnb for lodgingā€¦ Whether en route, at an out-of-town photography project, or for the WPPI conference that we love to attend for inspiration and education, being able to stay with a local and enjoy a real coffee before even leaving the accommodations has always been a delightful experience. Check it out, and hereā€™s a *special link that will earn you $35 in travel credit with them if you donā€™t already have an account with them!

I donā€™t know if thereā€™s another business I so regularly recommend to other creatives, entrepreneurs and just human beings in general. I first heard about this place from my friend Therin Miller who could NOT stop talking about the amazing experiences he was having during his sensory-deprivation salt-tank floats.

My own experiences did not disappoint, and Iā€™ve been a member for 2 or 3 years now, for the mental and physical benefits. Check out their website to read more about it, and why so many high-functioning athletes and others are regularly floating and loving it!

Weā€™ve trusted Backblaze for years now, and theyā€™ve been a lifesaver when it comes to restoring missing or accidentally deleted files and photos! We have lots of backups at the office, but just in case some future tornado or earthquake actually ever got us, weā€™ve got all of our important photos and data backed up offsiteā€¦ And thatā€™s a huge weight off for us. They gave us a special affiliate code link to share with you, so feel free to take advantage of whatever deal theyā€™re offering at the moment to help get you started!

Iā€™m on my feet a lot. Even more than you probably think, because I stand at my desk all day, in addition to all the walking, jumping, kneeling, and lying down that are just normal for me as I find and capture just the right angle for portraits. My favorite footwear, just discovered in 2020, is from Vivobarefoot.* I particularly love their FG Primus Trail shoes and the Scott boots. Hereā€™s a link they gave me to score you 25% off your first pair!*

I feel like Square literally changed my life and helped us keep SO much more of our businesses hard-earned money! Itā€™s super simple, easy to use, quickly deposits into our account, and they have a killer referral program that nets you and I both $1000 in free processing, if you want to use it! Hereā€™s the link they gave us to share with you.*

*Affiliate codes benefit us, too, with a little financial ā€œthank youā€ from the companies who provide affiliate codes to us. At least they do theoretically as weā€™ve not yet received any payments. Haha! Ā It doesnā€™t really amount to anything substantial, but we want to be up front about it. Still, if you know me, you know we would never recommend a company here that weā€™re not really thrilled to evangelize about. =)Ā
