photography for doers and dreamers
With so much talk and buzz about VISION the last few days, I couldn’t help but think about my vision and your vision. What is it that drives you to pursue what you love? Listening to a podcast with Seth Godin, I saw similarities in what he was describing about being a Linchpin. You can’t [...]
If you’ve been around since the inception of the tasra365 photo challenge (started after a dinner conversation with master photographer Scott Bourne and later watching Julie & Julia in the theater) then you know that our time is coming to an end. (Cue sad music.) There is something exciting, liberating, and also saddening about nearing [...]
When I taught junior high in the inner city, I took this phrase to a whole new level. Seriously, I found a monkey like the kind you see at circus acts or on the street. He’s pretty mild and cute until you press the “on” switch. Then he becomes this crazed screaming, cymbal crashing creature. [...]

If I didn’t have you, this blog, and an overwhelming sense of obligation, I would’ve skipped it tonight. And that would have [...]

Although I’m an introvert by nature, I’ve discovered that over the long haul, having company along for the ride can be more enjoyable. Whether it’s a long roadtrip, cross country plane ride, or yearlong photography journey, going it alone can’t compare to sharing the ride with others. When I started this challenge, I thought I [...]
Surely there have been Worldwide Moments throughout history. Whether they are collective moments of peace, victory, and pride or even moments of mass fear and terror. Our lives are made up of moments: compelling and unforgettable. Today I experienced a serendipitous moment when I tweeted about today’s photo. I needed an idea, some inspiration. I [...]
