Celebrate
Celebrations are a great opportunity to have photos of your friends and family taken – so why not plan a celebration?
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.

Part of a story
“As they walked on the sunny side of Columbia Road, Peter turned quiet. It was Easter Sunday and the streets were almost empty. Andy saw the old beetle parked in line and all of a sudden, he remembered…”
Paul Fuller
“Having a camera in your hand and a reason to be there gives you motivation and a license to stick your nose into places where you wouldn`t otherwise do it. “
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.
Autumn
About the special feeling at the start of autumn: “April has never meant much to me, autumn seems to be that season of beginning, of spring.” – Truman Capote in Breakfast at Tiffany`s.
Not for everyone
Why we shouldn`t please everyone. “Don`t be a purple drop in the ocean but be a purple drop in a swimming pool.”-Seth Godin
Begin

Feel more to see more

“the Why”
ON FINDING THE WHY. Time is always different. A holiday now will be different than a holiday in five years. A day at work now will be different from a day at work in ten years. It may be entirely different next week.

Picture your Highlights
Give it a try and make a “pictures of summer” album. The major surprise will come later: Looking back after let`s say a few months and going through your highlight pictures, it will hit you: How blessed you are! How many good moments you captured that otherwise would have passed unnoticed.
