Yes, lately I have been becoming far more open-minded towards the spiritual or ambiguous side of things I mightā€™ve previously scoffed at. This quote stood out yesterday while listening to The Artistā€™s Way. I think as a pro photographer itā€™s my job to ā€œremove chanceā€ from the equation to ā€œget the shotā€ at all costs, however, clearly we canā€™t control everything and embracing the things we canā€™t control is a far better strategy than blaming yourself for them when they donā€™t work out. If this makes any sense?

ā€œNo matter how slow the film, spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer it has chosen.ā€

Today, an image of a rainbow. My career backup plan is to start a company making positive affirmation calendars. Iā€™m heading up to Milwaukee this weekend to workshop this idea with some potential partners, along with hitting the lake to capture some fresh duck imagery. Iā€™m optimistic weā€™ll have a successful workshop session and next week, Iā€™ll be back with an endless supply of positivity, healing, and fresh vibes for the blog. Have a fulfilling weekend, everyone!
