Your genuine smile
When being photographed, don`t be afraid to smile wholeheartedly and openly. With openly, I don`t mean that you necessarily need to show your teeth – smile how you want to smile – but I mean that you can open up und be “real”. Don`t try to hide behind a fake smile. Think of the camera as a friend.

See this Day
“What if our purpose wasn’t that destination that we hope one day to land on, but what if it was a way of inhabiting the world today? Maybe we just need to open our eyes and embrace what God has placed in front of us.”
Day in your life
Document your “full experience of life”: Whatever happens (or whatever doesn`t happen), there`ll always be opportunities for pictures. However eventless or mundane our day may be, we still can document what we see and how we feel with our camera.

Should-Do`s
APPOINTMENTS FOR THE “SHOULD DO`S”. Do you have a lot of „Should Do´s” in your head? I have, and I need to get rid of them…

Creative work
HOW TO GET CREATIVE WORK DONE. One of the biggest traps for creatives is postponing: Either because of “waiting for inspiration” or because of perfectionism, saying “I`m not good enough yet, conditions are not ideal at the moment,…”
Trust the next step
WHY THE VERY NEXT STEP COUNTS. Often, I think: “Man, why don`t I seem to be able to think of a smart plan for my career?” However, thinking about it, it seems smarter to me to just take and engage in one step at a time. And trust that God knows what I don’t, and that he will guide me in the right direction.
