Sacramento native Tim Engle cultivated a passion for photography in his early teens and has since successfully turned that love into a full time career. Flowing seamlessly between portraits, fashion, avant-garde, and commercial photography, KVIE PBS selected him as one of California’s Master Photographers in 2011. In addition to his paid work, Tim volunteers for the Preston Castle Foundation as a photo docent and Halloween Haunt organizer, as well as organizing the Click Monkey’s meetup group for photographers. Tim’s first priority is his role as husband and father, but photography and creative direction are a close second. He feels fortunate to be able to work professionally in a field he has loved for so long.

Wintry News
A community newspaper stays afloat in Winters
Newspapers across the nation have been in a painful freefall for the past couple of years, cutting budgets, pages and staff nearly as quickly as they can relay information. The culprit, of course, is a lackluster economy that has severely hindered advertising revenue piggybacked on a readership that’s demanding free content in new mediums. So it comes with a few raised eyebrows to find Winters Express, a small weekly, still plodding along.
Organizational Misbehavior
Are you grooming or stifling tomorrow's leaders?
With the national economy stumbling along like a wounded animal, the only steady growth these days is in the number of workers being shown the door. But while layoffs can be demoralizing, those workers who remain on the job may find “the Great Recession” to be a huge career booster.
Apartment Complex
Multifamily buyers build up cash and wait for bargains
The credit crunch and other broad changes in economic conditions cut a wide swath through the ranks of potential buyers. Those who are left are biding their time, lining up cash and waiting for a sweet deal, probably a distressed property at a bargain price. But far fewer multifamily properties are facing the default notices that helped drive down prices for single-family homes, and many landlords are trying to ride out the storm. The result is very few deals.
