Eye To Eye

Having the courage to look another in the eye and tell them exactly how you feel can be very difficult for some of us. I once heard a marriage counselor state that most of all the issues his clients had were resolved by having the couple take 4 minutes a day and look each other straight in the eyes.

I've found the great photographers of our time and in history have always had a common theme of being very honest about their photography. They accept failure simply as a learning tool. Their resolve of knowing they are doing what they were born to do is enough knowledge for them to keep going.

Competition in business is something I really don't understand. Don't get me wrong photographers are a pretty good bunch when it comes to helping each other. But I see other businesses that stunt their opportunity for growth by not helping business around them succeed.

We should be willing to share and help others succeed. Be honest with developing ourselves and our business. We all need the courage to accept our weakness and willingness to share our strengths and the openness to sit down and converse "Eye To Eye" .
