Don’t Psych Yourself Out!
The Mountain Sometimes we focus on the mountain. We become fixated on the seemingly insurmountable obstacle we would never even dream of overcoming. Ironically, it’s the self-defeating language we speak to our inner selves that leads to poor imagination. We predetermine we are not able to do, to conquer, to overcome what is before us then we lay down and play dead… or put our heads in the dirt… or crawl into caves for extended hibernations. Alternatively, we can choose to simply look at the mountain for what it is: something that has multiple sides and levels. There is always a way up, over, around, under and through it. Be…

Test Shoot: Rhonda, “Delete the rest.”
Her response to her image gallery was, "Thanks for all your hard work! I see sickness in most of my photos.... I choose the ones I like.... I ask that you delete the rest."

Dinner & A Movie
Living in New York City for any amount of time has a way of grinding the pixie dust from your eyes. However, tonight I was a bit star-struck for a moment and happy for the excitement it brought. On my way home I stopped by a restaurant in Times Square and sat in a window facing the Square. This turned out to be a prime spot to watch several takes of a movie being filmed on the other side of the window. It took several passes of umbrella-holding extras before I caught sight of the star in their midst. Do you recognize him? 🙂 Read about the film Robert…
