Hello, It’s Peter Guber On The Line!

Here are some words of advice from fellow Massachusetts native Peter Guber (film and television producer) heard this morning via a conference call with other media-interested people.

Story is the cake, not the icing.

Impatient, not imprudent.

What’s in it for them?

Audience-centric.

Aim to heart, not wallet.

Be thoughtful about what you want.

Face-to-face.

Online is an audience of one, a million times over.

Have to be the audience you want to touch.

Enjoy the front row seat to your own drama.

Monday Morning Museum: Oscar Claude Monet

Oscar Claude Monet – Saturday 14 November 1840 Paris, France to Sunday 5 December 1926 Giverny, France

French Impressionist Painter

Monet is my favorite Impressionist painter and I love his place in Giverny!


This is one of the eight tableaux from Monet’s Les Nymphéas installation at the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris and it is the one I really like – Le Matin Clair Aux Saules

Monday Morning Museum: Edward J. Steichen

Edward J. Steichen – Thursday 27 March 1879 Bivange, Luxembourg to Sunday 25 March 1973 West Redding, Connecticut

I like this piece by Steichen – Experiment in Three-Color Photography, 1906 – it is lighter than his usual works.
