"Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices."

Why Not You?

Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration. Why not you?

Today, many will open their eyes to the beauty that surrounds them. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today. Why not you?

Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?

Today, for many the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. Why not you?

Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact with their powerful innate strength. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to free themselves from the... more »

NEW: In The Spotlight –– Announcement Post

It's time to show your fellow Google+ photographers some appreciation folks –– and I will provide you with the forum for exactly that; the brand new In The Spotlight circle.

What's the In The Spotlight circle?

It's a circle for my favorite photographers as well as yourself and your favorite people (it could be people you know or people you admire but never interacted with). It's the hottest circle yet here on Google+, a circle you definitely want to be a part of. 

Who can participate?

Anybody. As long as the main focus lies on photography. It's neither a pro circle, nor an amateur dito. It's a circle for great and active people loving the art of photography.

How can I be a part of this?

It's verysimple. Jus... more »

Plus One Collection - UPDATE #5 - Who is in print book + FUNDRAISING

You voted very soundly for including more artists in the book, and we're going to do just that. Here's your list of who's work is going to be included in the print version of the book - http://plusonecollection.com/2012-artists/

Now that you know, we really need to up our fundraising. We have just 9 days to make print book possible, but we're only 55% there. Quite a mountain to climb.

YOU CAN HELP HERE - http://www.indiegogo.com/plus-one-collection-2012

As you asked, we're making cheaper version of the book available at $99 or $125 if you live outside US. You can also contribute directly, aka "open contribution." I still think Limited Edition is best because you get a collector's version of the book, a beautiful print and you're maximizingy... more »

I won't be online that much in the next weeks because my life is running wild at the moment ... ups and downs ... unfortunately more downs ... and I have to find a way to clear things and find balance again ...

I wish each and everyone a wonderful Christmas time ... listen to your heart whatever you do and enjoy every beautiful moment that happens in your life ...
