Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in a rat model of Parkinson's disease upregulates neurotrophins in various brain regions
Search Medline for
|April 28, 2011
Objective: High frequency stimulation (HFS) of deep brain structures has evolved as a powerful therapeutic alternative for the treatment of movement disorders. Despite its clinical success, the exact mechanisms of action have remained unknown. In addition to the immediate functional efficacy of HFS, studies in animal models have recently suggested a long-term neuroprotective effect based on restoration in striatal dopamine levels and nigral dopamine neurons. Here, the impact of DBS on the expression of neurotrophic factors (NF) was analyzed in the rat.
Methods: 6-OHDA lesioned rats (male Wistar, age 21 days, weighing ~300g) received HFS or sham stimulation in the STN using an implantable microstimulation system. Group size was 4-5 animals each. STN-HFS was initiated 5 days after the intrastriatal 6-OHDA lesion and continuous (current intensity 50 or 100 µA, frequency 131 Hz, pulse width 52 µs). After 14 days of stimulation animals were sacrificed by decapitation and brains were shock frozen in nitrogene-cooled methylbutane. Striata and frontal cortices were dissected with the aid of Paxinos and Watson's rat brain atlas, using a cryostate. Levels of glial-derived NF (GDNF), brain-derived NF (BDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were analyzed in homogenates of striatal and cortical tissue, both by quantitative PCR and colorimetric ELISA.
Results: Successful stimulation was assessed clinically by involuntary movements. PCR and ELISA concordantly revealed an upregulatory effect of HFS on all three neurotrophic factors investigated, both in striatal and cortical tissues. The effect was more pronounced on mRNA levels than on protein levels. Relative quantification (RQ) values of mRNA in stimulated animals as compared to placebo were: BDNF cortex: 2.0; BDNF striatum: 36.2; GDNF cortex: 1.3, GDNF striatum: 1.6; VEGF cortex: 1.2; VEGF striatum: 1.6. Protein levels, as assessed by ELISA (in pg, always sham ± SD versus stimulation ± SD, with respective p-values) were: BDNF cortex: 179 ± 12 vs 202 ± 30 (p = 0.5053), BDNF striatum 179 ± 25 vs. 238 ± 55 (p = 0.0855), GDNF cortex 67 ± 8 vs. 76 ± 25 (p = 0.532), GDNF striatum 71 ± 10 vs. 78 ± 8 (p = 0.1978), VEGF cortex 31 ± 3 vs 56 ± 17 (p = 0.0289), VEGF striatum 25 ± 8 vs. 42 ± 14 (p = 0.0305). Bilateral effects were observed despite unilateral stimulation.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that the upregulation of NF after DBS may participate in the long-term therapeutic efficacy and potentially neuroprotective effects of this therapy.

The biggest story of the Milwaukee Brewers' offseason wasn't how the team planned to bounce back from last year's PR nightmare of star player Ryan Braun lying about PED use and being suspended for the season, as much as it was about Hank the Dog. While that may have actually made this the greatest PR smokescreen in MLB history, it doesn't matter because OMG LOOK AT THAT FLUFFY DOGGY! The Brewers made some new fans at the close of Spring Training when they announced that they'd be bringing their adopted mascot Hank home from Maryvale, Arizona – the town that is controlled by stray dogs – and he officially made his debut at Miller Park for Opening Day yesterday.
Naturally, fans went crazy for Hank's debut, as they actually brought homemade dog and people treats to the stadium to give to him, and that led to this local news report that finely balanced the lighthearted news about Hank's arrival with some people are just nuts about this dog.
"How many people can just walk on the field and be adopted like that?" I'm not sure. I can't really recall a time that a stray child showed up at Spring Training and became a team's mascot. That would make a hell of a Disney movie, though.
Obviously, I'm joking when I call this a PR smokescreen. Regardless of motives, this is still a sweet gesture, and Brewers COO Rick Schlesinger wants us all to know that. They didn't do this for the attention and the praise, as much as they did this because the players thought Hank was adorable when he showed up in Arizona, and they were totally right. Also, random animal mascots always mean playoff success.
One thing that I've been wondering, though, is how long it will be until someone in Arizona pops up claiming to be Hank's actual owner, and demanding the Brewers return his poor pooch to him along with a big sack of cash, because America. When that day comes, that guy will be in for a tough time, because Hank's new mama is Marti Wronski, Brewers VP and general counsel. The mother of four gladly volunteered to take Hank in, which is a surprise, because I would have expected one of the players to use Hank as a chick magnet first.
Today, though, is going to be a pretty chill day for Hank, as he's scheduled to be neutered at some point. But the good news is that he'll still be mentioned plenty as the subject of this fantastic April Fool's joke by On Milwaukee.

The Irish Open is always one of the first tournaments pencilled into Michael Hoey's schedule and this week's staging at Fota Island brings back some special memories for the five-time tour winner.
In 2002, as a fledgling professional, Hoey missed the cut at Fota Island but he returns this time around as a seasoned campaigner.
"I think the scoring could be low this week. The greens are soft, there's not that much defence with the weather being good so I expect some good scoring," said the 35-year-old.
"Thinking back to 2002 the one thing I remember was just how good the greens were. The rough was thick and the weather wasn't as good.
"They have tried to lengthen the course since then. With modern equipment the ball goes so much further, it's not that I've got stronger."
Currently ranking 44th in the Race to Dubai, Hoey has been working hard with coaches Johnny Foster and Justin Parson ahead of today's opening round.
"They have both given me some really good information so I just have to take that on board myself now," he added.
"My chipping hasn't been great of late but a couple of little set-up things have made a big difference, I chipped in twice today in the pro-Am."

These bonobos can even invent metaphors…The secret, at least according to Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, head scientist at the Great Ape Trust near Des Moines, is to expose primates to language when they are still infants. Of course, this isn't the first time talking chimps have threatened to dethrown Chomsky and his Innate Grammar Machine, but these poetic bonobos are pretty persuasive.
The Frontal Cortex
Talking Apes
#1 Manfred F. Greiffenstein July 25, 2006
Here we go again: Another bold claim that great apes can be taught language. It took years to dispell the myth that chimpanzees like Washoe and Nim Chimsky showed signs of generative grammar. According the Stephen Pinker in "How the Mind Works", some of researchers associated with "Chimps can learn to sign" were a tad bit aggressive with the data massaging, and for years refused to allow primatologists access to the data. Threats of lawsuits against those who questioned the data is not the sign of a reliable researcher.
It is not written in stone that Noam Chomsky is right, but there are other ways to scientifically falsify his theory if that's one's interest.
#2 Undergrad July 29, 2009
I was scrolling through your archives and came across an interesting spelling error in the last sentence of this post. I'm assuming you knew that the word is spelled "dethrone," but instead the homophone "dethrown" was activated when you were writing this. I often do the same thing with "write" and "right," typing one when I meant the other. Even though I clearly understand the difference between the two, apparently I think about these two words aurally rather than semantically.

Calgary Flames
10:00 p.m., Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta
The Penguins bounce into Alberta for their second game of the season and second game of the Canadian road swing. A win tonight would be a really big one for the Penguins and they should be back to full strength after Jordan Staal left the game in Vancouver early to what was called dehydration. Word is that he is going to suit up but who really knows.
The Flames should be a tough opponent and a team that I really like watching. Miikka Kiprusoff might have one of the best first names in hockey and is a really talented netminder. It might not seem that way if you are looking at his stats but this Flames team hasn't always been as talented with him in the net and he has had to stand on his head most nights to give him team a chance to win.
The last time these two met:
November 27, 2010: Penguins 4, Flames 1
The Penguins probables:
Steve Sullivan -Evgeni Malkin - James Neal
Chris Kunitz - Jordan Staal (?) - Tyler Kennedy
Matt Cooke - Mark Letestu - Pascal Dupuis
Steve MacIntyre - Dustin Jeffrey - Richard Park
Kris Letang-Deryk Engelland
Paul Martin-Zbynek Michalek
Matt Niskanen-Ben Lovejoy
Marc Andre Fleury
The Flames probables:
Alex Tanguay - David Moss - Jarome Iginla
Curtis Glencross - Olli Jokinen - Lee Stempniak
Niklas Hagman - Roman Horak - Rene Bourque
Tom Kostopoulos - Matt Stajan - Tim Jackman
Mark Giordano - Scott Hannan
Chris Butler - Jay Bouwmeester
Anton Babchuk - Cory Sarich
Miikka Kiprusoff
The Stats:
The Flames from last season since this is their first game of the 2011-12 season

> Mass Ave Homes Affordable Apartment Units Now Accepting Applications!
By Francis White
So some people are upset because the price of French fries has gone up, they won't be able to get tickets to the Tour De France or tickets to the French Open, and all of it is the Syrian people's fault.
Whatever your view of the "who did it and why they did it" aspect of the French terror/serial murder attacks that happened this month, there's no denying that it was a terrible thing that happened. My deepest concerns go out to the French people and the loved ones of any who died in the tragedy.
People like Erie County legislator Joseph Lorigo have been very vocal about recent news (which happened previous to the French attacks) that the Buffalo NY area would be receiving an influx of Syrian refugees. That is his right as a county lawmaker to voice his concerns over issues that he thinks would adversely affect his constituents. Lorigo is sponsoring legislation that is expected to get voted on this Thursday (that's tomorrow) November 19th by the Erie County Legislature calling for a public resolution on accepting additional refugees into the Buffalo area.
Buffalo has seen its status as a refugee resettlement community here in the US increase in the past 5 to 10 years. Whatever one's opinion may be, I think that most people who interact with them on a regular basis will say that the actual results have overall been good for the community. In a rust belt economy bleeding people, money, jobs, and ideas many see the newly arriving refugees as a resource to help rebuild a dying region. To be honest, many of these refugees come from places that have experienced war and turmoil as a result of meddling and/or influence by Western interests
History says that most of us living on this continent are living on borrowed land and possibly living on borrowed time. History says that this land is home to natives, thieves, murderers, patriots, some people who were brought here against their will, people who came here because they had no other choice, immigrants, refugees, and refugees of a by gone era. Nobody who came to this land really got here by playing by the rules, and in one of the wealthiest and wasteful nations in the world, there is plenty here for a lot of people.
Organizers are planning a rally and press event outside Erie County chambers starting at 1pm and going until about 3pm. I know there are many things happening tomorrow like the Bank Shame Campaign Hearing up the street at Buffalo city hall which goes from 1:30pm-4pm, but if you can try to fit both these important community organized endeavors into your schedule. Here's a link to the refugee rally info.

Waiting Out the StressVisitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Female
Hi-- I am madly in love with this guy and I know he was madly in love with me too. But now he is dealing with a really stressful situation -- majorly stressful to him and he hasn't been calling me at all.
Is he through with me - does he want me out of his life -- or does he just need some space? Should I contact him or should I stay in the background and wait for him to contact me?? I love him so much and the waiting is so hard. Thanks
RomanceClass.com Advice
One of the keys of any relationship is that you can talk about anything honestly, and that you are always there for each other. So I definitely wouldn't run and hide. I would stay in touch with him, let him know you're thinking of him. Offer to meet even for 1/2 hour for drinks, or for a few minutes for a back rub. Partners face problems together and overcome them together. He needs to trust you, that you can be a help to him. While whatever he's facing is stressful, undoubtedly there will be many more stresses in his life in the future. So if anything this is a "training stress" to teach him how to deal with them. He needs to learn that he shouldn't be facing issues alone, he should face them with his partner by his side.

It is the start of Advent and the school is in full swing to celebrate the Christmas season.
Thanks must go to Mrs Agnew for securing two Christmas trees for the school, which are now adorning the main hall and front reception, and the S6 students who took time out of their busy schedules to decorate the trees.
It is quite tinsel-tastic and I am sure it will raise the spirits of everyone in the final two weeks of what has been a long term.
We look forward to our Christmas concert next Wednesday, December 18, to which students, parents and members of the community are very welcome to attend.
Our art students will be exhibiting some of their work as well and it all kicks off at 7.30pm.
The first phase of our uniform consultation has been completed and published to students in the school and on our website.
The next stage is to look at how we take this information and formulate it into a dress code that is inclusive and affordable for all.
This work will be done at the start of next term through a working group comprised of students from the pupil councils.
We will aim to have the final version ready by the end of the spring term for all.
Our S2 subject evening went very well on Monday.
We tried out a new model whereby all members of staff were located at the front of the school, which saved parents having to walk around the entire building.
Feedback has been very positive and I think, with some further directions and information, we could be onto a winning formula.
Some 72% of parents and/or carers attended which is great and register class 2D1 get the prize for having 100% attendance.
Our parental questionnaire was well responded to and we will use this as part of our self evaluation around the school.
Our Rock Challenge and Eco groups got in on the evening as well and did some excellent fundraising for their respective causes which was fantastic to see.
Thanks to all the parents and carers who supported the groups through this.
Our new online tool, "Show My Homework," has gone live this week on our website (the icon can be found on the home page).
Information letters for parents have gone out through students and we look forward to making the content and process of homework more transparent so that parents and carers can support students in their education outside of the classroom.
Every house has now had its end of term achievement assembly.
I have managed to see the majority of them and it has been fantastic to see guidance staff and senior students leading the way in praising and rewarding the large number of different achievements made this year so far by our students.
In addition to this some of our chaplaincy team have attended these events and we will also welcome them back on the final day of term to celebrate Christmas in our end of term assemblies for S1-3 and S4-6.
Our Parent Council met on Thursday evening and it was the first meeting to be led by our new chair, Gillian Wishart, and vice-chair, Isobel Townsend.
I know they are working hard to improve communication with the parent / carer body and this will be done through their page on the website.
Further information on this will follow in the near future.
Finally, over to the students.
Our tennis team have been very busy this term, sometimes in the extremes of weather. The last time I went to see them I am not sure I would have managed to keep the ball on the court given the strength of the wind.
They have done exceptionally well and continue to play through the winter.
Thanks also go to Mrs Alison Young.

I grew up in Germany, in a village outside Stuttgart. It's a pretty traditional area where most people know each other and most speak Swabian, a German dialect that is almost impossible to understand for the un-indoctrinated.
I'm back home for a visit and we're watching the evening news as we've always done. Recently another 40 people died crossing the Mediterranean – amongst them 17 children. 10,000 refugee minors are declared missing. German Chancellor Angela Merkel still negotiates caps and asylum rights for refugees but country after country is closing its borders.
In the old days, we'd watch the news and then quickly forget such events as these: they happened far away. But now the news has come to us, and we must respond. A new reality has swept across Europe including Germany. So much has changed, and I'm filled with a mix of pride, hope and worry as my valley tries to adapt to the new reality of recent months.
Like many other communities in Germany, my village of some 5,000 people now hosts around 250 refugees from Africa, the Middle East, from Pakistan and Afghanistan. They live in mobile homes quickly erected in fields around the towns; some lucky families have been assigned a house.
But it's not enough, neither in my village nor in other parts of Germany. Bus load after bus load arrive and the towns no longer know where to put all these people. At the village school there are no more sports classes – 60 refugees now live in the gymnasium. The meadow around our outdoor swimming pool is being cleared for new mobile homes for 60 more refugees. The streets are filled with people speaking Swabian and 40 plus other tongues. The pressure is rising and fear grows among locals and refugees alike.
Statistics show that in 2015 Germany alone took in one million refugees. Some 2016 projections are double this. What these numbers don't convey are the individual stories of unimaginable suffering but also of hope. These people come to Germany because their own countries are unsafe: they have no hope for a better future. Many would go back if things were different. But things are not different and so, instead of going home, these refugees bring their families and encourage their friends to flee too.
So far, the majority of German people are trying to help – and I am incredibly proud of the many in my village who have welcomed the refugees. But I worry about how much longer this will be the case. Occurrences like the New Year's incidents in Cologne spread fear, and fear can trigger anger that leads to passive – and active – aggression.
Refugees and displaced people are not just in Europe; it's a rising global problem with repercussions felt everywhere. In 2015 The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) released its report "Worldwide displacement hits all-time high as war and persecution increase." The reported numbers are shocking, "Globally, one in every 122 humans is now either a refugee, internally displaced, or seeking asylum. If this were the population of a country, it would be the world's 24th biggest." In 2014 almost 60 million people had been forcibly displaced, and the report predicts that the situation is likely to worsen further.
USAID Education in Crisis & Conflict Network's (USAID ECCN) goal is to improve policy, planning and programming for education in crisis and conflict settings, and given the massive displacements occurring around the world, providing effective learning opportunities to displaced children and youth should be high on our agenda. To best highlight this issue and offer practical solutions, we need you: your passion, your knowledge, and your experience. Our collective insight can lead the way and USAID ECCN is here to convene and facilitate this process.
What can you do?
- Show solidarity simply by sharing this blog
- Share your thoughts about advancing the cause
- Share a success story – or ask for advice
- Sign up for a free USAID ECCN account
- Participate in USAID ECCN activities
Most of all, be the change and tear down the borders to love, compassion and understanding wherever they exist, especially in our hearts, minds and souls.

Natalie Collins, Youth Worker, Creator and Trainer, DAY Programme
"My boyfriend bought me an iPhone 5."
"At school I have to wear shorts under my skirt otherwise the boys lift it up and show my knickers."
"My mum says I'm going home over the summer and will go through a ceremony to become a woman."
As a youth worker, would any of these statements from a young person worry you? Would you consider them a safeguarding concern? For many who work with young people, such comments can slide under the radar; it doesn't occur that these could be warning signs of serious abuse and violation.
Often gifts of expensive technology to a young person can come with strings attached, perhaps offering sexual favours to the boyfriend's friends or can be used as a bargaining tool; "You have to do what I want, I bought you a phone!" Almost all up to date mobile technology comes with tracking software, which can be used to keep tabs on a girl/boyfriend. Also the expectation may be that Skype is kept on constantly, preventing the young person ever being away from their boyfriend.
Sexual harassment is rife in schools. Girls shouldn't have to dress to protect themselves from boys' advances. Such behaviour can desensitise girls to their right to bodily autonomy and can leave them believing they have to "let" boys do what they want. Sexual harassment is illegal and if we don't challenge it immediately, it can lead to boys believing they are entitled to access to girls bodies, whether the girls want it or not. For the sake of all young people, we must take all forms of sexual harassment seriously.
While there are no statistics on the prevalence of female genital mutilation in Scotland, a study for England and Wales estimated that nearly 20,000 girls were at risk of being cut. The risk to girls increases over the summer holidays, when they have time to travel to their family's country of origin, go through the terrible and totally unnecessary process of having their genitals cut and sewn up, often with no pain relief and then have time to "heal" before arriving back after the holidays. Often fears of appearing racist or ignorant can prevent youth workers questioning girls further, leaving them at risk of serious harm and potentially even death.
The risk of harm to young women across Scotland is not always apparent to those working with them. Everyone holds beliefs about abuse and violence. Some people have the idea that abuse only happens in certain communities or that it is rooted in alcohol or drug use. There are some that believe young people's intimate relationships don't need to be taken seriously because they are "only kids" or that it is just "boys being boys". This can blind practitioners to the many ways young people are harmed daily by those they know.
All these issues disproportionately impact girls and young women. Many services are reluctant to acknowledge this, considering it lacking in "equality" to name the problem as male violence against women. There can be concerns of demonising men and boys and not offering services equally, however denying the gendered nature of sexual exploitation, FGM and domestic abuse will result in a failure to respond effectively to either those being hurt or those perpetrating crime. Such abuse is rooted in beliefs of ownership and entitlement.
It's as we challenge language and attitudes that reveal beliefs of ownership and entitlement that we will see change happen. We can't just accept language that demeans either girls or boys as "youth culture". We provide a framework which sees ownership and entitlement as diametrically opposed to how we live our lives and how we form healthy and meaningful relationships.
It is impossible to become an expert on every issue that impacts young people, but we can endeavour to learn more about issues of domestic violence, sexual exploitation, sexual harassment and harmful cultural practices. For the sake of all young people, we must.
DAY Core Principles
We are passionate about giving you the tools to work with young people, equipping them to understand and address domestic abuse in their lives, their friend's lives and in the wider community. We want to encourage individuals and organisations to build on the foundations we have developed with DAY with their own ideas and innovation. So often we uphold structures to the detriment of the values with which the structures were created. In light of this we encourage DAY trained organisations and individuals to develop the DAY material, building on the DAY Core Principles to "PROCEED safely".
PROCEED safely
|Power and control is the motivation for domestic abuseRight use of power in all delivery
Ownership and entitlement are the roots of domestic abuse
Challenging societal messages is integral to ending domestic abuse
Encouraging critical thinking in young people
Equality of opportunity
Development and innovation

The Current
Jake is uprooted from the home he loves in Chicago when he gets a little too close to "big city" violence. Much to his disappointment, his parents buy a campground in rural Minnesota and drag him there kicking and screaming.
It is a story about God's plan for our lives and how sometimes we don't realize it but God is gently guiding us along throughout our lives.

principle that is success and this they
generully secure it is only after long inter

jfioilry when in power, that the Whigs sue

eesban bo seen at a glance.
Another reason, and a controlling one is,
that the Locofoco party act with boldness,
decision and promptness while the Whig
party are timid, conservative, and fearful
of consequences. , A brief recurrence to ihe
history of the past three years will amply
sustain us in this assertion.
The Whig party of Ohio had for years been
largely in favor of the repeal of the Black
Laws, and were notoriously anti-slavery in
their sentiments--the Locofoco party on
iho contrary, were rabid negro haters, and
denounced abolitionists wiih a vehemence
worthy ihe most ultra disunionist of ihe
Couth. Yet they repealed the Black Laws

The result might easily have been foreseen
As long as active exertions in the Whig
ranks are taken as a disqualification for

After a 4-2 win against 24th ranked Ole Miss on Sunday, Florida remains number seven in the country and improves its record to 17-4 (9-2 SEC). The Gators are currently preparing for their next match-up against Vanderbilt on Friday.
Gator head coach Ronald Thornqvist says his team is as healthy as can be.
"We're about as healthy as we have been in a long time, maybe a couple small things here and there, which sort of comes with it this time of year. We are running quite a bit and lifting quite a bit. We are getting ready for some hot and humid weather, and tournament play in a few weeks."
Vanderbilt is currently ranked eighth and has a very similar record in comparison to the Gators (17-4, 10-2 SEC). This is the final weekend of regular-season matches before the SEC Tournament.
Coach Thornqvist says Vanderbilt has no holes in its lineup.
"One thing that stands out with this Vanderbilt team is that they have pretty much the same type of player, or quality of player up and down the lineup. There are no holes in their lineup. There are no spots you say hey they're good there but not so good there, they're good in all six spots."
The SEC remains the dominant conference in women's tennis, and Thornqvist takes it as no surprise, saying the competition within the SEC is great for the team.
"I think it's really great for us, and it shows. I think we have five teams in the top 10 in the country. If you can survive, and I'll say year in and year out, if you win this league, you have a chance to win a national championship every year."
Alexandra Cercone, Olivia Janowicz, and Sofie Oyen all have something to share together this weekend. The three seniors will compete in their last regular season match as a Florida Gator. The Gators will honor their three seniors prior to Sunday's match against Kentucky.
Coach Thornqvist says he's been blessed to have these three seniors on his team.
"I think as a group of three, that's as good of a senior group that we've had in years here. I've been really blessed, we've all been blessed to have them."
Florida will play Vanderbilt at 3pm on Friday, and Kentucky on Sunday at 1pm.

The second largest European carmaker, PSA Peugeot Citroen, announced its January to June deliveries modestly grew by 5.5%, buoyed by stronger demand in Europe and China.
During the latest turn of events, PSA has intensely fought in recent years to shed its dependence on the core home region, going as far as to secure a cash tie-up with its most important Chinese partner – Dongfeng Motors. Now, on a global basis, the French automaker saw its business dip because of currency issues. The only exceptions, China, the world's largest single auto market and Europe, which is finally seeing the long-awaited recovery.
"We are becoming a little more dependent on Europe again, which is bad news for our internationalization goal," said Peugeot brand chief Maxime Picat. "But we're not going to complain if Europe is doing better. The rouble-euro exchange rate is particularly devastating," he added.
The six months tally is now at 1.54 million units, up from 1.46 million cars for the same period last year. Under new Chief Executive Carlos Tavares, the Paris-based company has returned to gain back some European market share – on the back of new model entries and rising sales in France, Spain and Britain. Overall in the region deliveries were up 11.7% to 956,000 cars and trucks, while in China sales rose 28%.

Seems like a simple question, doesn't it? What's your goal?
Amazingly, many of the photographers I talk to--both amateur and pro--don't really know the answer to that question. So let me ask it a little more specifically: what's your photographic goal?
Let me tell you mine for the coming year: take six photographs that I'll print at 24" and sell in limited quantity as signed prints. That's it. Take six photographs. Take six photographs that'll withstand being pushed to 24" with current print technologies. Take six photographs that'll withstand being pushed to 24" with current print technologies and which some number of people will find good enough to pay significant money to get one of those signed, limited edition prints. Take six photographs that'll withstand being pushed to 24" with current print technologies and which some number of people will find good enough to pay significant money to get and which I'll be proud to say represent my best work ever.
Notice anything about my answer? Well, I added specificity to it after stating it simply. Indeed, given that I've taken somewhere over 100,000 images in my lifetime (I'm afraid to even estimate the actual number, let alone count; Lightroom tells me that I took 782 images over the last two weeks that I decided to keep), that very last statement (in italics) actually represents a very significant specification. Moreover, I've got some measurement capabilities to determine if I meet my goal:
In reality, I'll probably partially meet my goal (I set high goals; you should too, but more on that in a bit). Perhaps I'll only manage five shots that meet my parameters. Perhaps I won't be able to get everything done in a year. I might not be 100% sure it represents my best work yet. Or maybe some combination or all of the above. Still, at the end of the process I'll take the time to look again at my goal, how well I achieved it, and what that implies for my next goal. I'll have more to say about my goals at a later date. I also intend to make this particular goal pursuit visible in extreme detail to everyone, warts and all, and they'll be a lot more specificity to it when I do that. But that's another article for another day. Today we're going to get you started. I've used a simplification of one of my 2008 goals simply to get the discussion kicked off. If you think you're going to be able to hide back there in the back of the class, guess again.
So let's get back to you. What's your photographic goal? Let's separate you readers into a few groups:
I've already mentioned some goals, but let's build them into types of goals. The ambitious amongst you should have multiple goals, and preferably ones of every type:
I'm going to suggest one other type of goal that entends over multiple types: the fix my weakness goal. Do you take photos that are technically competent but lack emotion? Or do you take pictures that immediately evoke a reaction but are technically deficient? If you fall into one of those two camps, make a goal of keeping the part that works and elevating your capability on the other.
One question I sometimes ask at workshops is "why do you take pictures?" Seems like an ice breaker question, right? Well, it isn't. It's actually something that links to all of the above. Most of the time I get vague answers, usually because the participant has never really confronted the question before and has no specific photographic goals. Sometimes I get parroted answers, like the Galen-esque "I want to communicate what I experienced in this place to the rest of the world." Do you know what your answer is? It actually makes a difference to your goal(s), doesn't it?
To be useful, goals should:
So what are you doing still reading this article? You've got some goal-tending to do. Start with some easy, short-term, and small-scale goals ("Learn the Lightroom shortcut keys this week"). With just a little bit of brain-grease you should quickly produce a longish list of that type of goal you can set deadlines and measurements for. Pick a couple and start. Meanwhile, be looking for medium-scale ("Get all my existing images keyworded and metatagged in Lightroom before the next big shoot") and large-scale ("Talk National Geographic into a photo assignment this year and nail it") goals. You'll be surprised at how focused and sharp you become as a photographer (yes, I know there are puns and word twists all over this article; live with it, as it's getting late tonight and I have a goal of finishing this piece before...).
Special aside to returning workshop students: guess what your first task is before you come to that next workshop with me? Yep, you guessed it. I need written photographic goals from you, and we'll review those (and improve them) before moving on. Still want to come to another workshop? Of course you do. But it's not going to get easier ;~).
