we each have more power to connect with and impact people [..], how we use it is a choice.

Use your influence and energy wisely. I am constantly reminded of this and this note will remind yet again that you can't be everything to everyone. Start with yourself first and see what is left ...

The photographer (*) validates his time on the earth by the photos he makes. Photographers record what the planet looked like during their visit (*). We are all tourist thru life, no one gets a permanent Visa.via June 19th, 2014 … Fuji X100s is a Streetshooter’s Dream (*) by StreetShooter (*).
The brilliance of calculus (*) is the usage of infinitely many infinitely small rectangular slices to nonetheless derive an exact measurement of the finite area under a curve.via Ask Slashdot: Books for a Comp Sci Graduate Student? (*) by peetm (781139) (*).

I mean, for me…it’s about responding (*) to life (*).

When you pick up a camera the options are limitless.via Danny Lyon Domino Player (*) by Adam Marelli (*).
The worlds of spectacular and lack luster are very close to one another.

As photographers, we swim in a visual world where things can go either way, in the fraction of a second.
But when we can anticipate (*) and understand (*) how our decisions (*) can impact an image, that awareness (*) lets us become more than observers.
We become authors.
When providing positive feedback (*) and praise (*), focus on reinforcing those things that a student has control (*) over. Their actions (*), behaviors (*), choices (*), strategies (*), approach (*), effort (*), thought process (*), and so on. Specific, concrete things they can act upon.via Why the Wrong Kind of Praise Can Undermine Our Students’ Confidence (*) by Dr. Noa Kageyama | bulletproofmusician.com (*).

To make a change (*) happen. [..]via Every presentation worth doing has just one purpose (*) by Seth Godin (*).
