My photographic philosophy: I celebrate the unique differences in each person, event and place. I relish in capturing life as it happens naturally. I anticipate it! I love creating an emotional image, one that you will cherish. I seek for beauty in the simplest most unexpected places. I enjoy carrying my camera where I go, making an interpretation of that moment and archiving it for good. Creating a beautiful, stunning final print you won't be able to take your eyes off of and giving you lasting memories of the people you love. These things put a smile on my face.

An Inspiring Film on Self Worth. THE BUTTERFLY CIRCUS


I love this short 20 minute film "The Butterfly Circus" directed and written by Joshua Weigel.
 I had to stop it for 5 minutes to cry. It's not depressing or overly cheesy, it's beautiful and intended to help you feel good about, YOU. 
I needed to watch this film. For myself.
I also loved the light and the way it was filmed. This is one of the best messages I have seen. 
The man that has no arms or legs, REALLY has no arms and legs, no special effects there, which for me, makes this movie even MORE compelling. His name is Nick Vujicic, check out his website: http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/ to learn more about him.

Quotes from the movie that struck me hard.
"You are magnificent!"
"The Greater the Struggle the more Glorious the triumph."
If you struggle with your self worth, watch this. If you have a good message on self worth you want to share with your children, watch this. If you just want a positive lift, watch this movie. 
It is worth it, I promise.

What kinds of things do you do to keep yourself positive?
