I started this photo blog as an experiment to see if I could stick at it and prove to myself that if I did I might be able to look back at a body of work that appeared to be the output of somebody with a vaguely consistent vision. After nearly 500 images I'm a lot more relaxed than I used to be; there's quite a few pictures I should never have posted but around 200 I'm reasonably happy with and I don't feel that's a bad return.
Having done that though I started to wonder what the point was. Without being able to answer that question I did decide that I needed to move on, and assigned myself the challenge of working in black and white for an extended period (a year, I thought - after all if Stephen Shore could do it for 10 years surely I could manage more than a few weeks).
So I did, around the end of April. Shooting in raw (as usual) but with the camera's jpeg engine set to black and white helps trick the mind into seeing differently. Digital black and white has its own challenges though - apart from the learning curve, the big problem is what do you anchor it to? In the course of trying to develop a workflow I found that a good starting point was usually a low-contrast colour conversion from raw. And then by chance I found that some of the images originally pictured in black and white made decent colour photographs. So now instead of switching this blog to black and white I've decided to keep going with those pictures that work in colour.
The colour may be a bit whacky at times - once you let go of a grounding point all sorts of weird things happen...
Some of the black and white work is here and here, to be honest it looks a bit sterile to me at the moment, but I'll see what I think in a few months.

vollkeramisch/MDT Rouven Cser, Germany:
"After more than one year experience and more than one hundred supplied patients, I can still recommend it with good conscience as the "largest leap in evolution in the history of full ceramics".
The price is more than justifiable as other materials have a much higher expenditure of time, work and material and do not lead to such an esthetical result as you will be provided with Katana ML only from the sintered blank.
It does not matter if fully, partially veneered or monolithic – I do not know ANY other material which is that easily to achieve such excellent results in such a short period of time, even for beginners."

Tafuta kitu cha kufanya katika maisha yako unachokiamini zaidi kuliko pesa, kutoa sauti kwa ajili ya watu wasioweza kusikika kwa mfano, na ukishakipata kuwa kiongozi na mkarimu kwa wengine. Kutoa sauti kwa ajili ya watu wasioweza kusikika inaweza kuwa ndiyo nafasi yako uliyopangiwa na Mungu uitumie kwa manufaa ya wengine, si kwa manufaa yako, nafasi za wengine zitatumika kwa manufaa yako. Kuna vitu vingi ambavyo mtu anaweza kufanya; chagua kimoja kinacholeta maana zaidi katika maisha yako na ukifanye hicho, kwa nguvu zako zote.
Quotes on voice
Will you have the courage to obey the voice of God?
It is raining blood today.
I open my book and write "Black Lives Matter
God wants His people to be a voice in the wilderness
again, her singing was her only absolute, the only thing that was completely her. a thousand classes hadn't given her this concrete insight: her voice was her place in the world, the home she leaves in the morning and returns to at night, in which she can be herself in her entirety and hope to be loved for all that she is and in spite of all she is.
The educated ones leave, the ones with the potential to right the wrongs. They leave the weak behind. The tyrants continue to reign because the weak cannot resist. Do you not see that it is a cycle? Who will break that cycle?
Soon madness has worn you down. It's easier to do what it says than argue. In this way, it takes over your mind. You no longer know where it ends and you begin. You believe anything it says. You do what it tells you, no matter how extreme or absurd. If it says you're worthless, you agree. You plead for it to stop. You promise to behave. You are on your knees before it, and it laughs.
She let the fear burn inside her like fuel, making her voice even stronger.
She had a voice so husky it could have pulled a dogsled, and the gun she was holding gave me a bad case of barrel envy.
So they're looking for a new face, with a voice to go along. I can tell you right now that ain't my style. I don't do no sing alongs, with my freedom.

He had said "Our know-how is growing each day and we have been able to improve what we already have, thanks to Iranian experts' powerful hands."
Iran has been tapping domestic know-how to improve its military level regardless of international sanctions.
Iranian officials have always asserted that territorial safety is the key to social and economic stability as goals pursued by the government.

How do you know when your direct sales business is booming? Staying the same? Not growing at all? Think on paper!
Keeping an activity report is essential for progress. In fact it's so important my company has us report on a monthly basis.
I'll admit when I started in direct sales I thought what's the big deal, do I really need to do this? I honestly thought it was a waste of time until I saw my numbers GROW GROW GROW! Then I became excited and couldn't wait to see the development each month.
We measure ingredients when baking a cake so it tastes yummy. We measure medicine before giving it to our kids so they receive the right dosage. So why wouldn't we measure our business activity each month to make sure we are on track?
You need a target. How much money do you want to make? Don't tell me a lot of money. Get specific. Write down the exact dollar amount you need to make for this to be worth it for you and make it happen!
Here are 7 steps to measure your success each month:
- List the name of each person who hosted a party for you and their contact information.
- How many people were at that specific party and how many bought?
- What were the total sales at the party?
- Did you book parties off of your parties or obtain word-of-mouth bookings from friends or by networking?
Write it down and include how the business came to you.
- What are your future parties on the books? How much business do you have set up for the next month?
- Total all phone or internet orders that came in during the month for one grand total.
- Total all columns for an easy month-at-a-glance summary.
When you see on paper that your sales rose $1,000 from the previous month and your bookings are on the rise it will excite you and pump you up for the next month.
Let me ask you this…
Will you hit your goal this month? If you said yes, CONGRATULATIONS! If no, don't beat yourself up. Look at why on paper and move on to the next month. No one is perfect.
Let me help…
For the form "Monthly Activity Success" send me an email and I'll send it to you for free!
Remember, it's about progress not perfection.
