Up and out for a hike with Stacy at 7:30am carrying my PACK.

Stacy's shadow and me.

Wanted a shot of Stacy amongst all the yellow flowers.
The thrill of being at the start of the Palm Springs Photography Festival this afternoon was going up to Rick Sammon and introducing myself. Brave me.
I’d recently bought his book – Digital Wedding Photography Secrets (He has written so many books you have to go to page two of this link to find this book listed!) I love the way he writes and told him so. He said that he didn’t like writing. That’s hard to believe with all the books I just noticed he’s written. I wish I could have attended a seminar he is teaching tomorrow but it conflicts with my Jack Dykinga workshop.

Rick Sammon!!!! and me. Photo taken by Russell Hart (I handed Russell my compact digital camera with incorrect settings.)
It’s time for me to make sure all my camera related equipment I’ll need for the workshop tomorrow is all in order.
How well this photographer communicates what I am learning in life and hope to someday learn in my photography (If I ever make time for my photography!).

What an incredible message about attitudes, visions, perspectives. I always welcome an attitude adjustment and Dewitt Jones accomplished just for me that in this video he put together depicting what he has learned over the course of his career as a National Geographic photographer. This video is not about photography. The title of this video is what it is about: Celebrate What’s Right With The World. While viewing the video through tears I heard the message I try to practice yet presented in a little different way. Listening to Dewitt it is quite obvious he has had his fair share of psychic changes or spiritual awakenings. What comes from the heart, goes to the heart.
Thanks to you Dewitt Jones for making this very special video.
p.s. To my ladies who read this blog, please watch this video. Make time for this gem and let me know what you think.
p.p.s. Lane sorry you won’t be able to see this video or any other videos until you receive your new computer!
Celebrate What's Right With The World
A guest photographer I’d never heard of, but won’t forget, made this video rather than write a blog on Scott Kelby’s blog as Wednesday’s guest blogger.
The video is about 8 minutes or so. Watch it all the way through. I hope you too feel just a little bit better after watching it.

I have been in another computer crash funk, only the 2nd in the last 5 months. I’ve put my life on hold trying to get my life back. Funny how my life is now on my computer.
Keep it simple. Right.
In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
