When opportunity begets routine...
I know, I know, your running late, traffic was a mess, no time, no rest, no more minutes, and certainly no more phone calls! Got to go! Conference calls back to back, major decisions need to be made and no cooperation seems to be the rule of law...STOP! Take a breath, exhale...slowly...take a breath....and repeat. Close your eyes and repeat until the little crack of light begins to fill the room in your mind's eye. Breathe... 

Now before you jump in the car and valiantly fight traffic for the next hour, pull out your camera ( yeah that one...with the phone attached to it) and walk through your yard. With camera in hand, swipe the dial to portrait and choose between natural light and stage light. Be still... focus.. .take the shot. And breathe.

The only counter balance to the madness of this valley... is to be creative. Its chicken soup for the soul. You can do it! Just breathe...
