Yes, lately I have been becoming far more open-minded towards the spiritual or ambiguous side of things I might’ve previously scoffed at. This quote stood out yesterday while listening to The Artist’s Way. I think as a pro photographer it’s my job to “remove chance” from the equation to “get the shot” at all costs, however, clearly we can’t control everything and embracing the things we can’t control is a far better strategy than blaming yourself for them when they don’t work out. If this makes any sense?

Today, an image of a rainbow. My career backup plan is to start a company making positive affirmation calendars. I’m heading up to Milwaukee this weekend to workshop this idea with some potential partners, along with hitting the lake to capture some fresh duck imagery. I’m optimistic we’ll have a successful workshop session and next week, I’ll be back with an endless supply of positivity, healing, and fresh vibes for the blog. Have a fulfilling weekend, everyone!
