ATTENTION=ENERGY

There is equivalency between attention and energy and between energy and growth. When energy is fed into a system, the system gains energy unless it discharges it. It grows. When we give our attention energy to something, it grows. When attention is given to us, we grow, hopefully in positive ways. Most businesses want to grow. The attention we attract is the energy we attract so it is reasonable to be thoughtful about it to grow in positive ways.

THE DREADED TIMESHEET

Does anyone like filling out time sheets and the struggle to keep jobs within budget along with the pressure to minimize non billable hours? For years I work as a consultant in engineering firms and the process of filling out a time sheet could be an agonizing task.  What did I do all day?  All week? At the beginning of every new time period I’d start out with the best intentions only to see my diligence fade as the week […]

IS IT ME OR IS IT YOU?

Which perspective is better. yours or mine? When I produce content about my business, should I be providing information I want to put out there or should I be putting out information you want to see?

Less is best.  Most […]

COMMUNITY

It can be easy to think the whole world is going down hill if you read or listen to any national media. But it isn’t.  Not here, not locally, not where we live. And we are not unique.  Communities around the globe are actively and eagerly improving,  growing and evolving in better and better ways every year.  I know I see it all around me. As a photographer I’m often asked to photograph local events from ribbon cuttings to hackathons.  […]

Morphing Headshots

One of my clients came up with an interesting idea. Instead of a static website banner, a slide show or a simple dissolve how about a series of people morphing into each other? I checked with several fellow videographers who had no idea how to do this. So… research, research research and voila. Figuring things out is always satisfying. It’s human nature to want to push the envelope and learn new things.
