Remembering Ava

ava.jpgOn one of the photography forums that I participate in, I just read that one woman's little three year old daughter died in a freak accident a few days ago in Australia. I did not know little Ava nor do I know her family, but my heart goes out to them nonetheless. It is these tragedies that remind me of how blessed most of us are. So hug your loved ones extra tight tonight and remember those who are not so lucky.

Inspiration

Read this on Tara Whitney's blog and loved it. It is from Mike Colón.

The answer is sacrifice. You have to give something up in order to get results that excite you and inspire the artist within. You must give up perfection! Perfectionism only provokes fear and fear is what holds us back in pretty much every area of our lives. I love the way Joe Buissink puts it when he says "There is no such thing as a perfect image, only a perfect moment". He is so right.

Funny Moments

Thought of the Day

It's just a bad idea to go out in public when your greasy hair is pulled back into a pathetic ponytail and you have on yesterday's clothes and you haven't showered or brushed your teeth. I mean, my God woman, have pity on people.

Missing

I miss Ben a couple hours after he has gone to sleep. At around 11:00 I want to go in and wake him up. I think Josh will kill me if I do this.
