• {What the blog is about}

    -Pay It Forward verb- 1. to repay the good deeds one has received by doing good things for other unrelated people. 

    Most photographers spend loads of money on gear, camera equipment, and other photography related needs.  Its the relationships and sense of community that makes being a photographer unlike any other profession.  Lets Pay It Forward and make our industry a better place.

    If you have information, an action or experience that you feel others can gain from, please forward it to us to post on the PIF site.  If you have benefited from or been inspired by something here on this site, we ask you to pay it forward when the opportunity presents itself.


Its nice to get awards!!!
