Glory

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." Matthew 28:18 King James Version (KJV)_ Big Daddy Weave and Third Day are performing in a live, outdoor venue across the street. Their glorious vibrations reach me during tonight's postings on my Google+ page. A former title for this work was Prickly. Mike and Jay's testimonial lyrics passed a reminder, by way of "Redeemed," unto Redemption! Thank you Jesus!

Chasing Rabbits

The purpose of this writing is kind of like sonar. To bounce and measure how far, and how wide, and how deeply the tunnel chases Alice after the rabbit, down and across site maps, to observe activity and correlations between searched traffic from unveiled web crawls, and far, far and away into the secret depths and reaches of rel = alternate hreflang = x for Google page analytics unto global storefront access in different languages for different people, in different places above the rabbit-hole. Thank you for your patience with me in this study "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?" Exerts from the novel, "Alice's Adventure In Wonderland," of the chapter, "Down the Rabbit Hole," written by Lewis Carrol: "There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!' (when she thought it over afterwards it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but, when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again. The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well."

After Alice, no children’s book could afford to be stuffy, didactic, or entirely free of fantasy again. A pioneer of early photography, Dodgson has been called “the most outstanding photographer of children in the 19th century” (Gernsheim, 28). Original examples of his photographic prints are rare and highly sought after. Other items of Dodgson-related interest are original illustrations for his works, particularly those of his best-known artistic collaborator, John Tenniel. As well as Tenniel's original pencil drawings, electrotype woodblocks made from them by the Dalziel Brothers occasionally come to market.

Crushed Awakening

Crushed Awakening Recently read an article about taking risks. Perhaps the inspiration may have seeded deeper had I played the right music. Actually, I didn't play any music. Perhaps you could offer me a musical accompaniment, to all of the things spiraling from this delivery (or has the captivity suffered a deliverance) unto this posting? Hope I didn't take that advice too far with this recent work. Please let me know if I overstepped (or "understepped") the measure for risk taking with photography. I couldn't recall the article that nudged me, although I did find the following "Nine Areas of Risk" blogged by Lloyd K. Barnes in response to an article by Heather Morton with a gaming spirit to keep the lens open, and free for adventurous photographic adventures! Thank you Heather. Thank you Lloyd. Keep shooting Friends, while safely choosing carefree, or cautious, amidst your next Crushed Awakening. The Nine Areas of Risk written by Lloyd K. Barnes May 27, 2011 Article source: http://blog.lloydkbarnes.com/2011/05/27/taking-risks-in-your-photography-talk-by-heather-morton/ 1. Be a visionary Heather started with a quote from photographer Chase Jarvis: “Take the pictures that no one else can take.” The first step in successful marketing is to have a unique vision. A couple good examples of visionary photographers are Andrew B. Meyers and Chris Buck. According to Selina Maitreya in a video clip, the photography market is increasingly becoming divided into low-end and high-end markets, with the high-end being defined by photographers with a singular vision. What does “vision” encompass and how does a photographer develop their vision? Heather’s advice is to tell the story of you as a photographer. Vision needs time to develop. Take the risk of following your vision rather than following the latest trends. 2. Always be promoting E-mail blasts and print promos are hard to get through these days. The volumes are too high for busy creatives to spend time on, and company spam filters stop a lot of e-mail. Printed portfolios are rarely called in anymore. So what can a photographer do? Some are taking risks with promos that are highly targeted and creative. A great promo will get attention and may result in a tweet, blog post or shout out. Effective use of social media is an important part of the strategy. Promos should reinforce your vision about who you are as a photographer. Heather Elder said in a video clip that blogging and telling the story are very effective promotional tools. Also, face-to-face meetings with potential clients are still highly effective. Miki Johnson explained via video clip the importance of a blog to give a personal face to your work. 3. Expand your horizons Diversify yourself beyond your traditional offerings. Travel to new locations and open up to new opportunities such as social media and video. As Heather Elder said, photographers should see themselves as directors, content providers, application designers, and visual image makers. Some photographers are marketing to other photographers, for example David Hobby (Strobist) and David duChemin (Pixelated Image), who teach seminars, sell books and have popular blogs in addition to selling their photography. 4. Experiment & get smarter Try new things, such as iPhoneography and video. Keep learning. Try different genres of photography. Experiment and practice until you have it down. 5. Get in over your head Push yourself and don’t be afraid to go in new directions. Trust yourself and get out of your comfort zone. It helps if you can share the risk with the client! Selina Maitreya’s advice was not to work from fear. Stop chasing trends. 6. Reconsider money Sometimes you may have a great creative opportunity that is worth doing for awards and recognition, not just the fee. Look at your quotes and see where you can trim excess to help meet the client’s budget. 7. D.I.Y. If the job comes in, say yes and figure it out! Scout locations yourself, test out everything and get your hands on all aspects of the shoot. 8. Collaborate Pool your resources and expertise with other photographers, videographers, animators and web developers. Collaborate with clients. Take a risk to be open and share your ideas, suggest treatments in your quotes. Overdeliver. 9. Shoot every day Stay passionate about photography by shooting every day. Interact and engage the world with your camera. Be curious.
