What if
your words were exactly like the seeds a farmer plants, nurturing all summer before harvesting to reap great rewards? Most anyone who views this scene could have a feeling of appreciation for the work, commitment, and time invested in the field. Imagine the farmer cursing his field, gossiping to his family about all it's drawbacks when he should be planting. Would the beautiful field full of produce, ready for harvesting still be here? My view says doubtful, if it does happen to get created many flaws will exist. Read more here

Brett & Heather lure me back to Weddings

Willingness is the key! This moment my attention is focused on gratitude for willingness to raise my arms holding equipment that records images. And, to have willing subject's without them none of it is possible. Heather & Brett are getting married in a few weeks, a friend mentioned me, we met and they invited me to shoot it. So, last night I invited them over to the studio, we laughed, I ordered them around a bit, and here are a few of the results.


Another thought hits me just now. As I look at these pictures this morning I remember the anxiety I felt before the shoot. The studio door was broken, little things were not where I wanted them, I actually had to work. When Brett and Heather showed up, as we connected, they shared a bit about their own fears, we talked about it, the self conscious worry about outcomes. Pretty soon, we all relaxed and began to create. Today, as I have done hundreds of times, I wonder why we do that, maybe it is the creative spark we need to do the deed. Maybe that little feeling of butterflies, or slight anxiety is exactly what we must feel right before we have a breakthru and create something new.


So come on Universe, bring me some more butterflies!


Thanks for looking!
