Question......Are we willing to admit when our emotions are wrong and trying to pull us into a devastating trap?

Emotions arise from bad and outdated programming that no longer serves us. Don't be fooled into acting upon these very unpleasant feelings. Sit with them to better understand where the lie originates.....then smile knowing you freed yourself from your own prison.

Let your behavior be the monument you leave behind. Because that’s what you control and the satisfaction you get from it is priceless. Do such great work and be such a powerful example — through this you will earn your own respect and it doesn't come at the cost of worry, fear or the endless race of status anxiety by chasing your ambitions.

Instead of chasing ambitions, fame and applause….focus on the “good virtues”

- Wisdom
- Self-control
- Justice
- Courage

Time to refresh a sick 7'0" Bob Sled with a fresh new paint job! I give you Dark Lightening!

Dark lightning is a burst of gamma rays that is produced by the collision of extremely fast moving electrons and molecules.

The burst occurs right before ordinary lightning and is thought to be the most energetic radiation produced naturally on Earth.

The Art of Surfing: A photographic journey through a 1960's counter-culture

In this gallery you will experience the stark difference between two distinctively different cultures that were present during the 1960's. The stunning photographs displayed incorporate amazing use of motion, movement and unity within their respective genre to tell completely different and opposite stories of the era. The movement of war torn soldiers in Vietnam versus the graceful movement of a surfer on a wave. The motion energy captured during a war protest outside the San Francisco Capitol Building versus the healthy motion that connects participants during a night surfing competition at the Huntington Beach Pier. Finally, the unity of each individual photograph and the collective of each sub-culture unify a clear message of the divergent world views of the time.

Full Sail University and my current class, Composition & Visual Design, has been the best learning experience since starting Digital Cinematography Degree last November. The technical skills, tools and knowledge learned has been tremendous in just 2 x short weeks. The biggest struggles I have had this week has been honestly digesting the assignment requirements. I feel I understand the exposure, focus and white balance workflows, but really struggle to capture all the Behind-the-Scene (BTS) and Viewfinder shots required for the weekly assignment. I did develop a handy cheatsheet / checklist of all Mr. Baker's teaching points. This document has helped me further understand the workflow and facilities easy shooting while out in the field. That is another aspect of this week's assignments that I struggled with....shooting on location. It is so easy to forget a piece of gear, which I did while shooting the deep Depth-of-Field shot of the Cocoa Beach Pier. I forgot my white balance card, but luckily remembered the "K" value of a setting sun to get my white balance workflow complete. Combine these "off-the-cuff" work arounds with my rookie calibrated eye = a decent shoot. Besides the cheatsheet I developed, I found the blackboard YouTube videos to really help explain the concept of "depth of field". I can now look back at last week's shoot and see the very small and shallow depth of field in the foreground.

I feel so much more confident with manual photography concepts and techniques. I look forward to the next 2 x weeks of Composition & Visual Design......great course!
