Recently, I posted a video by Zack Arias. This generated a lot of comments and discussion about technology and art and where all of this is leading us. A friend of mine sent me this video as “an eye opening support for your thoughts”.

“Let’s organize this thing and take all the fun out of it.” — Twitter/i heart quotes Everyone knows that referrals are the best. The trusted wisdom of a friend is clearly the best way to find exactly what you’re looking for in a wedding photographer. Times are tough and everyone is looking for value when…

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. — Albert Einstein It’s that time of year when one dark day can push you over the edge. It’s always been tough to make your living as an artist, but it seems even harder in recent days. We all know the economy is…

Wow. This video is so inspiring. I couldn’t have said it better. Our voice is the most powerful tool we have – whether we express it in words or images. What a great message. Thanks for sharing.
Hammer in hand…..nail on head.
Today is a new day.
Great reminder Randy to remember that we have a good life not having to watch the clock for our lunch break, just keep working, be patient and maybe one day we’ll be visited by the “genius fairy” and we wont’ suck so much.
Is there a Richard Avedon button?
Must be a Nikon thing! 
Very nice. As photographers I think we are all searching for something. It will never be found because when we do we will want to find the next thing. It’s a big circle and it never ends.
We really are lucky to be doing what we are doing. We should all be proud that we are making a living in a very hard profession to do that in.
Oh Randy, thanks so very much for your real, honest, transparent posts. You’re an amazing person and a true artist and I’m so fortunate to know you. Zach’s video is stunning – thanks for sharing such a gift.
Well, it is refreshing to know that we have all “sucked” at one point or another. I guess it is pushing through the crap that sucks the life out of us so we can be reborn and see life again with a new set of eyes and a fresh perspective. It’s keeping in mind that “this too shall pass” and if we have the courage to persevere we will come out on the other side “sucking” a little less.
Thank you so much for sharing that video, Randy!
I have some goals and mountains to climb with my photography this year, but my photography is not what defines me. Is it a part of the whole? Of course. But there is so much more to life. Zac’s video was very empowering.
I love this post. My wife, Meghan, and I have been talking about the subject of all this endless information we have at our fingertips. I took her to see some redwood trees this weekend while we were in California. While this was the first time she has seen them in person, she has seen photos and video of them. We talked about how we can pick up our phone and know about anything we want information on. The ability to explore and find something new in this world is all but over.
Yet… we don’t know how we go on without our Internet!
Thanks for the link. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers,
Zack
