seasons change
happy holidays -- don't let the cold trap you inside, or your camera in its bag... get out and shoot, or at least get out. breathe deep, and let the crisp cold get to the very bottom of your lungs.. and whatever you do, don't let january sneak up on you without spending time with those that matter most to you -- be with the ones you love, and let them know what they mean to you

inspiration
if you don't have it -- it just may be time to do a little soul-searching...
when i find myself in need of some wind in my sails, thankfully i don't need to look far. not even outside the four walls i call home. (want to know more about that? check out our family blog -- http://http//402ec.blogspot.com/) my family is the reason i get up and go to work every day.. my wife kerry and my two boys, ry-guy (already home..and dearly missed) and z-nut (just warming up!) they push my photography skills -- giving me both great material and a desire to improve. they're patient with my "multi-shot" photo sessions. :)
so - if you continue to check back, i'm sure you'll be given more opportunity to get to know the fam!
as for you and yours... your inspiration, that is... get out there and shoot. if it's something you can catch through the lense, get to it... if not, then click with it in mind.

perspective
so, if it truly is a matter of perspective, then let's do what we can to stay "chin-up" -- if you click pix, change your angle -- lay down on the footpath for the different shot, and it's ok if others look at you like you're wacky...
if you have a nasty habit of being self-centered, find something good in someone else, and tell them about it (it's called encouragement, but more on that later)
if you think you've got it bad, and wonder why so many others have been given so much more than you --- consider the children who've lost their parents to sickness, starvation, poverty (unfortunately the list goes on and on) and be thankful for what you have --- and maybe take it a step further and share what you do have with those who aren't as blessed as you.
after all, it all boils down, the good and the bad are only a slightly different perspective away from each other.
sometimes you just gotta look a little harder
