{ The Company You Keep }

Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are.

If you run with the wolves, you will learn how to howl, but if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to the great heights.

A mirror reflects a mans face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.

The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate for the good and the bad.

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve.

Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity.

As you grow, your associates will change.

Some of your friends will not want you to go on.

They will want you to stay where they are.

Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl.

Your friens will stretch your vision or choke your dream.

Those that don’t increase you will eventrually decrease you.

Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.  Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships. 

{ Live The Life You Love . . . }

Live the life you love and love the life you live.

Are you living the life you love, and loving the life you live?

{ Never Lose Your Sense Of Wonder }

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance, I hope you dance…

Such a magical session and one that reminds you to “never lose your sense of wonder.”

Have an inspired day!

{ Dancing With The Sun }

“Sometimes your creative mind sees what your camera doesn’t see.  After the picture is taken, the artist can bring his or her heart and soul into the darkroom…this is when the magic of the moment can truly come to life.” Nadia Smith

A truly magical moment that was made into a most memorable moment in time! I hope you enjoy the sneak peek. I will put up a few more sneak peeks before the big “reveal”. I must leave some surprises.

Have an inspired day!

{ Vanity On The Farm }

As promised…here are more images from the “Vanity On The Farm” series. There’s something so classy, elegant, nostalgic, timeless, etc…about black and white and sepia toned images…they just seem to convey such depth and emotion. It takes you in…it holds you captive…you are not distracted by color, but the absence of color…it’s what draws you deeper into the subject. It is a most powerful type of processing and one that will ALWAYS be my favorite.

Be aware…with this new blog…images are gigantic…you may have to stand back a few feet to take them in…hehe…love that.

I also added my own texture to the first two images…those textures are still on sale at www.inspiredimages.typepad.com/heartography

I hope you all enjoy these!

Have an inspired day!
