I think one of my favorite things to do is take pictures. If I could choose only do one thing for a living it would be photography. Hopefully y’all are finding that ZimmComm photography has improved over time (and it’s not just because of upgraded gear).
This is why I love what Russell Graves is doing. I know I’ve pointed you to him before but I just noticed he’s now making ag photos available for purchase on his website. Like this one for example.
He’s also a pretty good writer and in his most recent newsletter he writes about things he’s thankful for. They struck a nerve with me since I share them. He just says them better than I would though. Like:
* The opportunity to live everyday of my life in America.
You’ll see people in the news prognosticate that America’s best days are behind her and there are worse times ahead but I choose not to believe any of the doom-and-gloom scenarios. Instead, I am optimistic and believe in the spirit and ingenuity of our culture and its people and have faith that our best days are still ahead of us.
I look back at every year of my life and realize that the things I’ve been able to do and the people I have met have all blessed me. Looking forward, I don’t see those blessing diminishing. Instead, I am confident that the blessings will continue to blossom.
Right on Russell! It’s going to be a great 2009.
