On this weeks RAWtalk I sit down with someone who has created a very selective directory of photographers to help them stand out in a noisy word.  Stephen and I discuss the Photo News of the week along with a few other topics.  Playing on the theme of standing out in this noisy world I discuss a new book from my friend Gary Vaynerchuck called Jab Jab Jab Right Hook.  This book is poised to give you that kick in the butt you have been looking for to help your photography grow.  Finally the gear of the week comes from RODE who sent me out some new over the ear microphones to try out on an upcoming RAWtalk Episode. We live in a crowded world of photographers "trying" to make it.  Many people want to know how to get noticed and I think I have found one answer.  Wonderful Machine is not your typical "agency", in fact they don't consider themselves an agency at all.  Agencies take a percentage of your business and WM does not.  Wonderful Machine can more accurately be described as a photographer directory and that is extremely important.  Be sure to listen to the interview I conducted with WM founder Bill Cramer and find out if you have what it takes to be added to their machine. I know so many of you out there want to know what the secret is to making it.  The truth, there is no secret, it's a mix of hard work, meeting the right people with a small mix of being in the right place at the right time, AKA luck.
