On Winning:

Congratulations to the

Indianapolis Colts for their

win against New England.

(If you saw the game, you know what I'm talking about)

An interception with less than a minute to go

gave the Colts the victory!

They had the desire to win.

They came from behind.

They reached their goal as a team!

A winning strategy is crucial to success.

What's in your game plan?

On Writing:

The importance of passion.

"If you're focused on what your passion is"

says Stedman Graham, "you're really aware

of what you should be doing in your life.

You understand your purpose. You're

always looking for opportunities

to build that passion."

If You Are Beaten

If you think you are beaten,

you are;

If you think you dare not,

you don't.

If you like to win,

but think you can't,

It's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out in the world you find

Success begins with a person's will;

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are;

You've got to think high to rise;

You've got to be sure of yourself before

you can ever win the prize.

Think big and your deeds will grow;

Think small and you'll fall behind;

Think that you can and you will.

It's all in the state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go

to the stronger or faster person;

but, sooner or later the person who wins

is the one who thinks they can.

Inside each one of us are the seeds of greatness,

we have the power to make them grow.

Do we want to live a life of mediocrity?

The Art of the interior

Trade shows display images like this.

Usually it's planned out in detail

with lighting accenting certain features.

This image was shot on spec. and is

copyrighted. It is also originally shot as a

panoramic.

What's my line?

Candid photography of children can

be so rewarding! Props can add to the photo.

It also helps if you have a subject willing to pose.

If that doesn't work...shoot candids with a

telephoto lens. Make it your first project of the year.

Smiles!

Welcoming in 2007!

The above illustration shows the creative power

and color in illustration!

As a photographer taping into the power of marketing, I want to hit

the markets often. This creates image and brand!

Now lets take a look at how the same theme could be used for an advertisement:

Adaptability. Pretty cool.
