I like these photos, and the sentiments expressed below. Creativity must be given a chance to breathe. Output must follow the organic ebbs and flows.

I’m going to be abandoning the idea of once-a-day photo uploads. I feel like trying to keep up with a daily schedule runs counter to and hinders my ultimate goal: to get out, to explore, and to document ideas, people, places. There are large stretches of time where I simply don’t photograph. I hate the idea of having to take a picture just to meet a “deadline.” So instead of a daily schedule, I’ll be uploading photosets as I complete them. This gives me more time to get out, stretch my legs, and really chase after an idea. I feel that sometimes the meaning of a group of photos is lost when they’re by themselves. When you have a whole string of photos, a whole narrative, you get a more complete picture, so to speak. Anyway, to get the photoset idea started, here’s a collection of landscape photos from the past year or so. I imagine I’ll be doing a lot more of these, as I’ve been more in tune with the isolation of nature than the community of the city.

Wow. Nice.

My 2 cents, on Open Forum, about every person here that is in business trying to get attention or % of voice on Twitter.
Don’t Fear The Internet

Her playing was slow, almost stately. Too many people think speed is the hallmark of a good musician. It’s understandable…But how quickly you can finger notes is the smallest part of music. The real key is timing. It’s like telling a joke. Anyone can remember the words. Anyone can repeat them. But making someone laugh requires more than that. Telling a joke faster doesn’t make it funnier. As with many things, hesitation is better than hurry.

Simon Sinek really hits home on so many different topics. I want to re-watch this again when I have a chance, but the tag line he assigned is: “if you don’t understand people, you don’t understand business”.

Gecko and Palm Frond Photograph by Lorenzo Menendez A small gecko pokes his head out from between the ridges of a palm leaf. How I ever saw him I will never know.
Falling Slowly, by Glen Hansard; sung by Glen Hansard and Market Irglova, from the movie, Once
This is one of those movies I missed seeing in theaters, and want to rent someday. The song above, which won an Oscar, is captivating in a gentle way, nudging the soul towards something lasting.
Hope you enjoy. :)
