Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!The Dead Pixels Society sits down with SPAC's leadership, Coree Cooper and Calvin Harrell Jr., to unpack how a volunteer-driven nonprofit became the world's largest gathering for school, sports, and volume studios—and why its focus on workflows, profitability, and community sets it apart.Harrell describes how SPAC evolved from film-era hotel meetups into a global hub with attendees from Europe, South Africa, and beyond. We get specific about what matters to operators right now: RFPs, data and capture workflows, ecommerce platforms, on-demand print, AI-enhanced processes, and the sales moves that win and retain school and league accounts. The SPAC agenda is designed for impact—Schools 101, Sports 101, and Volume 202 for scaling teams; a dedicated trade show with 100+ volume-first vendors; and a Workflow Walkthrough that lets you compare cameras, lighting, backgrounds, extraction, and software in side-by-side pods before you buy.Cooper also dives into SPAC's culture of access: scholarships for first-timers, 15-minute coaching sessions that often turn into year-long mentorships, and the live-voted King/Queen of the Hill session where peers pitch ideas that save or make real money. Expect smart ways to raise average order value with banners, ornaments, and yearbooks, plus a look at a new digital yearbook solution set to debut. Beyond sessions, curated excursions—Valley of Fire portfolio shoots, Atomic Golf, and the neon museum—build real connections. New this year, the SPAC Zone on the trade show floor creates a quieter space for meetings, quick coaching, and networking.MediaclipMediaclip strives to continuously enhance the user experience while dramatically increasing revenue.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEIndependent Photo ImagersIPI is a member + trade association and a cooperative buying group in the photo + print industry.Photo Imaging CONNECTThe Photo Imaging CONNECT conference, March 1-2, 2026, at the RIO Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas, NDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

ROK Vegas 2025 was held over October 29-November 2 outside the Rio Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. Over 300 entries gathered to compete in the 11 categories at the eight edition of the event, featuring perfect racing weather all week. Rob Howden and David Cole recap the action from Vegas in this episode of the Debrief – presented by Sodi Racing USA. The show begins with the Comet Kart Sales Paddock Pass before getting into all the details of the weekend with the AiM Sports Race Report. The EKN Trackside Live Race Calendar presented by Rolison Performance Group completes the podcast.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!What does it really take to build a creative career that lasts—from film backs and FedExed portfolios to AI search and virtual production walls? The Dead Pixels Society sits down with commercial photographer and stock photo library owner Stewart Cohen to trace a candid arc across decades of change, revealing what fades, what scales, and what never stops mattering.Cohen starts with the old-school apprenticeship: assisting legends, traveling light, and learning how to manage clients when the stakes are high. He explains why he chose commercial work over weddings, the thrill of annual reports that sent him around the world, and how he built trust before online portfolios existed. When digital upended the economics—killing film costs while introducing tech overhead—he didn't flinch. He rebuilt the business model, focused on relationships, and found leverage in licensing by treating every frame as an asset that can pay again and again.Cohen then digs into ownership and strategy. He shares why he acquired Superstock, how he invests in metadata and modern search, and where AI currently fits: powering discovery and efficiency rather than chasing loss-leading generative tools. He talks about the market's swing away from over-retouched perfection toward authenticity, and how video workflows are transforming with virtual production walls, smarter post, and lighter gear. Through it all, one theme anchors the story: deliver on time and on budget, but bring heart to the picture. Tools change; trust and taste don't.MediaclipMediaclip strives to continuously enhance the user experience while dramatically increasing revenue.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEIndependent Photo ImagersIPI is a member + trade association and a cooperative buying group in the photo + print industry.Photo Imaging CONNECTThe Photo Imaging CONNECT conference, March 1-2, 2026, at the RIO Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas, NDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!Pricing isn't the problem—meaning is. We sit down with author and podcaster Miriam Schulman to unpack the mindset and mechanics behind selling creative work without racing to the bottom. From her journey off Wall Street into a thriving art career, Schulman shares a practical framework for moving past fear, charging premium prices with confidence, and helping buyers answer the real question on their minds: Am I worth this investment?Schulman explains the belief triad—belief in yourself, in your product, and in your buyer—and why that third piece is the missing ingredient in most pitches. Instead of listing specs, we show how to sell the destination, not the plane: the captured safari shot you would have missed, the portrait your grandkids will treasure, the brand identity that finally fits. Schulman explains how price signals trust, why “reassuringly expensive” can convert better than discounts, and how to align your personal story with what collectors and clients value.Sustainability matters as much as the initial win. You'll learn the four-hour rule for creative genius, what to stop doing immediately (hello, vanity metrics), and what to double down on to build a lasting business. She also tackles AI with a clear-eyed take: it's a powerful car that needs a skilled driver. Use tools that save time—smart prompts, clipping, research assistants—while protecting the original ideas that make your work irreplaceable.MediaclipMediaclip strives to continuously enhance the user experience while dramatically increasing revenue.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEVisual 1stVisual 1st is the premier global conference focused on the photo and video ecosystem.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!What if your archive could fund your mission? We sit down with HistoryIT founder and CEO Kristen Gwinn-Becker to reveal why most organizations are far less “digital” than they think—and how a smart strategy can turn dusty boxes, dying tapes, and scattered drives into a living, searchable asset that powers storytelling, alumni engagement, and real fundraising results.Gwinn-Becker walks us through the essentials: Start with strategy, not scanners. We delve into why PDFs are not a reliable form of preservation, how master files and standards safeguard against obsolescence, and why metadata is the engine that makes evidence discoverable. From NFL teams to fraternities and historical societies, she explores how unified metadata lets users click a single name and surface photos, plaques, film clips, and documents in seconds. The result is access that feels magical—and measurable. Hear how one membership organization achieved a 791% jump in its day of giving by making history personal and instant.In this conversation, we also tackle the hard choices. Should you decide what's “important” before digitizing? Gwinn-Becker explains the risks of guessing, the urgency of preserving magnetic tapes and obsolete formats before “last play,” and the real role of AI in accelerating metadata without surrendering quality control. We share practical steps to future-proof born-digital content: define owners, formats, intake checklists, and routine ingestion so the next twenty years don't become another rescue project.MediaclipMediaclip strives to continuously enhance the user experience while dramatically increasing revenue.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEVisual 1stVisual 1st is the premier global conference focused on the photo and video ecosystem.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!What if your photo books could talk back? Not with another app or QR code maze, but with a small, tactile device that lets you record and play stories, songs, and memories at the press of a button. The Dead Pixels Society sits down with Geoffrey Stern, the founder of Voice Gift and the longtime audio mind behind Build‑A‑Bear's wildly successful “sounds,” to unpack how voice transforms printed images into living experiences—and why that shift boosts both emotion and sales.Stern explains the psychology behind audio as a memory trigger and the practical reasons customers finish purchases when they add their own voice: ownership deepens, abandonment drops, and the keepsake becomes personal. He discusses VoiceGift Play, a $59 handheld recorder that ties numbered audio tracks to photo pages, framed prints, wedding albums, travel books, and recipe collections—no apps, Wi‑Fi, or screens required. With 10 hours of storage, USB‑C backup, and standard MP3 files, it's simple to share recordings across multiple copies or import music like a wedding playlist to soundtrack an album. There's also a kids' version with pictograms and stickers that turns storytime into an interactive, confidence‑building ritual, and accessibility use cases ranging from braille overlays to guided routines for dementia care.Along the way, we talk about the shift from digital overload to analog delight, the “don't add steps” mantra for photo retailers, and how self‑playing audio breathes new life into printed products without complicating production. From Build‑A‑Bear's immersive retail lessons to practical upsells for photo labs and online platforms, this conveMediaclipMediaclip strives to continuously enhance the user experience while dramatically increasing revenue.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEVisual 1stVisual 1st is the premier global conference focused on the photo and video ecosystem.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!What if the best photo you take is just the start? The Dead Pixels Society sits down with Heath Lassiter, founder of Niche AI, to explore how volume imaging is transforming from prints and proofs into living, brand‑ready media—think fusion assets mapped to body parts, refined face replacement, and motion‑from‑stills that parents and guests can't wait to share. Lassiter's roots at Express Digital and deep work across schools, theme parks, events, and cruises give him a rare, pragmatic lens on what actually scales: fast inference, lower COGS, consistent brand aesthetics, and real privacy compliance.Lassiter unpacks Niche AI's core offerings—precision cutouts, fusion scenes, and immersive face swaps—built to operate at enterprise speed and quality. The conversation gets tactical on GPU throughput, cost curves, and why off‑the‑shelf AI often produces generic looks or drifts from target demographics. Heath explains how his team blends proprietary models with in‑house design to nail placement, mood, and age‑appropriate results, and how that approach translates into higher conversions and repeat purchases across e‑commerce.Schools get a spotlight: extend fall capture slightly and replace the operationally heavy spring shoot with AI-driven products—seasonal themes, cap‑and‑gown automation (colors, tassels, even hands and diplomas when needed), and short motion clips for social. We cover data handling, GDPR, API vs on‑prem, and why once‑reluctant enterprises are now opening the door to responsible generative and non‑generative workflows. For parks and events, the image becomes both souvenir and marketing engine, turning guest photos into shareable media that drives reach and revenue.MediaclipMediaclip strives to continuously enhance the user experience while dramatically increasing revenue.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEVisual 1stVisual 1st is the premier global conference focused on the photo and video ecosystem.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!Ever notice how a new boss “fixes” a process that wasn't broken—and six months later everyone is quietly doing it the old way again? That loop is costly for small businesses, and we sought a more effective approach. William Holsten, a business mistake prevention specialist, author, and former brand leader, will unpack why errors repeat and how to prevent them with simple, durable habits.Holsten starts with the real first step after a leadership change: get out of the office and into your customers' world. He lays out a practical script for face-to-face conversations that actually get the truth, plus ways to map the entire customer journey in a photo retail context—from file transfer and on-site kiosks to packaging, archival storage, and digital asset handling. From there, he breaks down his $10,000 mistake checklist: “no one actually needs this,” “death by assumption,” the “vanishing wallet” cash-flow squeeze, and “flying without a map.” Each comes with field-ready fixes: test-and-learn prototypes, quick price sensitivity checks, weekly cash forecasts with tripwires, and a one-page plan that nails proposition, differentiation, and unit economics.Holsten also shares the origin and rebuild of PitchBurst, a dunk-tank alternative that delighted early users but failed on materials—until a full engineering rethink made it bulletproof. The lesson translates to imaging: validate not just demand but durability and workflow under real conditions. We explore using AI to cut through analysis paralysis, the value of mentors, experts, and naive observers, and a favorite tool he calls “uh-ohology”—learning from other people's mistakes so you don't pay the tuition yourself.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!The physical photograph is making a powerful comeback, and dye sublimation printing technology stands at the forefront of this renaissance. In this eye-opening conversation with Jeff Huang, corporate officer of Taiwan-based HiTi Digital, we explore how this 25-year-old company has positioned itself as a unique force in the printing industry by manufacturing both printers and consumables in-house.What makes dye sublimation printing superior to inkjet for event photography? According to Huang, it comes down to "speed, speed, and speed." While inkjet printers place individual dots, dye-sub printers transfer entire lines simultaneously, dramatically reducing printing time. Beyond speed, the technology offers remarkable reliability—printers can sit unused for months and still work perfectly when needed, a critical advantage for seasonal businesses like photo booths and event photography.We dive deep into the growing markets where physical prints remain highly valued. Photo booth operators are thriving at weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings, where guests crave tangible mementos of special moments. Sports photography represents another booming sector, with parents willingly spending $60-100 for high-quality prints of their athletic children. These aren't just photos—they're treasured keepsakes that capture fleeting moments in ways digital images simply cannot.Huang also addresses how technological advancements have overcome historical concerns about dye-sublimation print longevity. Through multiple formula revisions and the addition of specialized protective layers, modern dye-sub prints maintain their quality for years, even under challenging conditions.Discover why, in a world saturated with digital images, the physical photograph continues to hold powerfulMediaclipMediaclip strives to continuously enhance the user experience while dramatically increasing revenue.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEIndependent Photo ImagersIPI is a member + trade association and a cooperative buying group in the photo + print industry.Photo Imaging CONNECTThe Photo Imaging CONNECT conference, March 1-2, 2026, at the RIO Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas, NDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!From construction industry websites to photography businesses, the digital landscape is transforming at breakneck speed – and those who adapt will thrive while others fade away. When Wes Towers received a business valuation three years ago, identifying AI as an existential threat to his company, he faced a pivotal choice: resist or evolve. His decision led to his most profitable year ever."We're calling it search everywhere optimization," Towers explains, describing how customer search behavior has fundamentally changed. People no longer search with disconnected keywords but engage in full conversations with search tools. This shift toward natural language is actually humanizing digital interactions rather than making them more robotic. The key differentiator for businesses navigating this landscape? Authenticity.Your content must sound uniquely like you – not the generic, faux-enthusiastic tone that permeates so much AI-generated content. Towers advocates using AI as your "first terrible draft" while ensuring the ideas and voice remain authentically yours. "You want to be the master of the AI, not the other way around," he advises, recommending businesses develop clear style guides before employing generative tools.For smaller businesses competing with larger entities, Towers offers counterintuitive wisdom: embrace your size as an advantage. While larger companies might offer more services, small businesses provide direct access to passionate founders who truly care about outcomes. By niching down and becoming specialists in targeted areas, even tiny companies can attract significant clients searching for genuine expertise.MediaclipMediaclip strives to continuously enhance the user experience while dramatically increasing revenue.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEIndependent Photo ImagersIPI is a member + trade association and a cooperative buying group in the photo + print industry.Photo Imaging CONNECTThe Photo Imaging CONNECT conference, March 1-2, 2026, at the RIO Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas, NDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!What happens when an entrepreneur with no background in photography or AI sees an opportunity in the headshot market? In this conversation, Ricardo Ghekiere, founder and CEO of BetterPic, reveals how he transformed a small startup he acquired for just $1 into a multimillion-dollar AI imaging company.Ghekiere shares his remarkable journey of growth, from setting what he thought was an ambitious goal of $50,000 monthly revenue to actually reaching $114,000 monthly in just one year. This dramatic underestimation of the market reveals just how hungry consumers and businesses are for AI-powered imaging solutions that eliminate the hassle and expense of traditional photography.Ghekiere also explains his newest venture, BetterStudio, which creates digital twins of real models for fashion brands. Unlike controversial fully AI-generated models, BetterStudio works with actual modeling agencies to digitize real people, allowing brands to dress and style them virtually for e-commerce and marketing campaigns. This approach not only preserves jobs in the modeling industry but also addresses ethical concerns about AI-generated people.Particularly fascinating is Ghekiere's insight into identity ownership in the AI age: "You own your eyes. If the eyes change, the person changes, but if the eyes remain the same, that's you." This principle has helped shape how BetterPick approaches the creation and licensing of digital content in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.The geographic differences in AI adoption also play a crucial role in BetterPic's strategy. Despite being based in Belgium, most of their headshot revenue comes from the United States, with Europe typically adopting AI technologies "two years later." For their fashion industry product, however, they've taken a "EuropMediaclipMediaclip strives to continuously enhance the user experience while dramatically increasing revenue.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEIndependent Photo ImagersIPI is a member + trade association and a cooperative buying group in the photo + print industry.Photo Imaging CONNECTThe Photo Imaging CONNECT conference, March 1-2, 2026, at the RIO Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas, NDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

John Wallace, GM at San Antonio's La Mansion del Rio Hotel and Dee Dee Poteet with Visit San Antonio share fascinating insights about the town and the historic hotel

Leitura bíblica do dia: 2 Coríntios 5:14-20 Plano de leitura anual: Provérbios 6–7; 2 Coríntios 2; Em 2020, o Dan Hotel, em Israel, ficou conhecido por um nome diferente: “Hotel Corona”. O hotel foi dedicado aos pacientes em recuperação da COVID-19 e tornou-se conhecido como um local alegre e de união. Já que os moradores estavam infectados, estavam livres para cantar, dançar e rir juntos. Assim o fizeram! Em um país onde as tensões entre grupos políticos e religiosos são altas, a crise em comum criou um lugar onde as pessoas podiam se ver como seres humanos primeiramente, e até mesmo se tornarem amigas. É natural sermos atraídos àqueles que vemos como semelhantes a nós, que compartilham experiências e valores semelhantes aos nossos. Mas, como o apóstolo Paulo enfatizava, o evangelho é um desafio às barreiras entre as pessoas que consideramos normais (2 Coríntios 5:15). Com as lentes do evangelho, vemos um quadro maior do que nossas diferenças: um quebrantamento, um desejo e uma necessidade comuns de experimentar a cura no amor de Deus. Se acreditamos que um “morreu por todos”, então também não podemos mais nos contentar com suposições superficiais sobre os outros. Em vez disso, “o amor de Cristo nos impulsiona” (v.14) a compartilhar Seu amor e missão com os que Deus ama, mais do que podemos imaginar — todos nós. Por:  Monica La Rose

Before we get into our deep dive of Season Two, we wanted to share a special episode of “Enterprise Incidents” that we recorded live in front of an audience at Creation Entertainment's “55 Year Mission” Celebration of “Star Trek” at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas in August 2021! Throughout the course of our first season, where we re-assessed “Star Trek” as a serialized body of work, we saw The Original Series in a fresh new light and made so many new discoveries — the biggest of which involves the Captain of the Starship Enterprise himself, James T. Kirk. We always thought of Kirk as a bold, brash hero teeming with bravado (which he is), but he had to be a whole lot more than that to make the intelligent, informed and life-saving decisions that he did. So who is James T. Kirk, and how did he get to be this way? Listen to this fun, energetic and revealing live podcast of “Enterprise Incidents” to find out!

The last time someone from Eve was here Eve Fanfest had just wrapped up and we were starry-eyed from all the cool changes announced. One of the main changes that came to Eve has been the new 6 week release cycle, instead of have big monolithic expansions twice a year. We have already had too pretty big release Kronos and now Crius. Crius, stirred up quite a bit of controversy, as it completely overhauled Industry system(s). I didn't do much industry before the changes, but afterwards it definitely makes industry clearer and easy to do as a newer players. There is, still, of course the complexity just like anything in Eve, but on the surface, building stuff has change from “spreadsheet” like interface to more user friendly and easy to understand interface.
