a blog re-post on the passing of elliott erwitt

I had to dig deep into the early blogosphere world to find my first blog, “mariannecampbellassociates.blogspot.com” to locate this post, but it was important to me to find it on today’s news of Elliott Erwitt’s passing. He is an absolute legend and I am honored to have met and connected with him as a part of this event. Apologies in advance for the bad photo quality, sacrilege! Original blog post below!

What an absolute honor and pleasure it was to speak at the World Photography Organisation's first US Festival held at Left Space Studios in San Francisco. I was asked to participate on a panel presentation and discussion about Marketing & Commercializing alongside photographers RJ Muna, Elliott Erwitt, Brian Smith, and marketing director Rhiannon MacFadyen. The panel was expertly moderated by photo editor Scott Thode. While my focus was espousing the keys to a successful, long-term photographer/agent relationship as well as the strategy for marketing a multi-faceted photographer like RJ Muna, each panel member shared his or her unique perspective on the topic. It was great fun and I look forward to the next opportunity (London, Shanghai, Sao Paulo...?)
