HOT IRON

HOT IRON

Steve Sears bends metal.  The hard stuff, … iron.

Iron doesn’t want to bend.  It takes prep.  It takes conditioning.  It takes energy.  Steve’s energy.

Steve has been bending metal for decades.  He knows what he wants and how to make it happen.  Most people call Steve an artisan. He calls himself, “Steve.”  Bending iron is what he does, and does well.  He doesn’t worry about labels.  We all do what we do, whatever that may be at any given time.   Maybe we are label-able, maybe not.  It really doesn’t matter.

UNDERSTANDING

Dr. Dan Cohen, “Dental Care 4 Kids” understands his patients.    They are less concerned with all the things that adults appreciate about him and are more concerned about how they feel when they visit.  Knowing this, Dr. Dan has created a dental office environment that kids actually  look forward to visiting.

DENTAL CARE 4 KIDS WAITING ROOM

From cartoons and game-filled iPads in the waiting room to fun window displays in the hallway Dental Care 4 Kids has a relaxed, stress-free feel.  While the concept is relatively simple, the implementation is brilliant.  Care 4 Kids blends medical professionalism with kid aesthetics.

DENTAL CARE 4_KIDS DISPLAY WINDOWS

Like any dental office there are high tech tools like X-ray instruments, drills and sterilizers, but they are subtly placed and do not dominate the office.  I think this is a great example of a professional who has given a lot of thought to who his clients are and how they feel.

APPRECIATION

Road Spaghetti!

Traveling to a North Jersey assignment in morning rush hour, with accidents all around certainly make one appreciate GPS.

Thank you satellites and all those people who figured out where the heck I am going and how to get there.   One wrong move and I would have ended up twirled and twisted and driving the wrong way looking for a U-turn.

It feels good to appreciate.…

ECOLOGY FLAG

Envision-Plan-Implement

Frenchtown enjoyed two simultaneous events Labor Day Weekend that perfectly exemplified the envision-plan-implement process.

A local art and performance venue, Art Yard, provided a street parade of colorfully dressed bird people, while the Frenchtown Business and Professional Association held its Riverfest event, celebrating the town, the arts and the river.  Both were a vision of the organizers who planned and implemented their events flawlessly and with joy exhibiting the perfect model for any business.   Think it, plan it, do it!

It was delightful and inspiring to see the ecology flags lining the street and waving in the breeze.  It inspired a vision for me.  I wanted to emulate the glorious, flag-waving scene from Les Mis, palnned out what I wanted to do and struck out to find my photo.  I wrangled Mike Tyksinski, the coordinator of Riverfest into being my subject, and we took over the street to create the image. Mike was the perfect subject and waved the flag with gusto.

It is always so satisfying to see a vision implemented, whether it’s a photo, an event or an entire business.  It keeps us going with enthusiasm.  A couple more photos photos below.
