“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

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.

Story of Pink
STORY OF PINK. “It wasn`t until I looked at the litter on the ground when I noticed all the pink petals everywhere. “
Vision
When making decisions or planning, ask: Does this serve my purpose? This way we can move forward according to our values.
Ditch that camera bag
Why having no camera bag can improve your photography. Here`s where your camera is supposed to be: Hanging over your shoulder and ready to shoot. That means the lens cap is either at home or in our pocket.

Self-image
“I PRAISE YOU, FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE…” I want to look at my picture saying: Yes that`s me with a beating heart that is capable to hope and a mouth that is able to smile bright.

Interview with Celebrity Photographer Christof Sage: “…It worked, because I have worked twice as much as others…”
Daniela Reske
Interview with Daniela Reske: “You must not be a perfectionist when doing documentaries, otherwise you`ll end up unhappy.”
Networking
HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF OUR NETWORK. Having a strong network, we can make use of the brain, ideas and wisdom of many, not just our own.

Seeing fresh
HOW SEEING WITHOUT THINKING HELPS WITH OUR PHOTOGRAPHY. The concept is to capture the moment of “seeing fresh”.
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.
