- The Spring 2024 term begins next week, and among the amazing, life-enhancing classes is “Crafting a Meaningful Career-Part One” (Online - ACX-481) beginning on Tuesday, 16 January, from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
Course Description:
Change is inevitable. Your job changes may be big or small, they may be caused by your or by outside forces, but they all involve some form of introspection on what you want out of your life and consideration of the impact your decision will have on the lives of those you care about the most. Crafting a Meaningful Career is a unique course that offers its participants the opportunity to examine the pros and cons of past employment, deep dive into what motivates each member, evaluate individual risk tolerance, and how to create a plan to confidently move on to the next level. It’s about defining one’s unique purpose and how to make it a reality, not about filling in someone’s place on an HR manning table.
Here are some quotes from past members of our class, and current members of our creative community:
"...this class offered lessons designed to get in touch with where your passion lies..."
"...helped me to redefine my goals and determine the steps to get there..."
"...confirmed my decision to make this important change in my career..."

ACX is pleased to offer 50% off all Spring courses. We’ve handpicked courses perfect for your continued professional development as a visual communicator or entrepreneur..

“Dear Family and Friends,
My thanks to everyone who have submitted orders for the 2024 National/State Park calendars and holiday greeting cards!
Brian Biery (c) 2024
…Thank you so much for your support of my work over the years! By purchasing a calendar or framed photograph, you have enabled me to continue to capture incredible landscapes in our public parklands throughout the year with my camera. And, hopefully, to have inspired visitors to respect and care for our parks.
With this in mind, I hope to see you next weekend at one of these wonderful events!
With great appreciation,”
Brian

(Editors Note: On November 11, Mark was) “…the guest speaker for the Booth Photographic Guild in Cartersville, GA. Sponsored by the Booth Museum, one of a handful of Smithsonian Museum affiliates in the United States, I can assure you their collection of Western Art is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. I've spoken to the photography guild several times in the past and am honored to present in the Bergman Theater…”
Subject/Title of Talk:
Keys to Powerful Photographs
Description of Talk: Photographers are technical creatives.
Our primary tool(s) demand it. It was so with film and it’s even more so with digital photography. While anyone can be taught the pedantic mechanics of a camera, a small subset of photographers make powerful photographs by doing something differently, less technical, and more emotional. Their work grabs us, holds our attention, and speaks to us on a subliminal level. It’s taken me several decades to sift through the lure of technical mastery and understand to look, listen with my heart, and interpret the world true to my vision. These keys to powerful photographs are what I hope to impart.
