FOR THE LOVE OF IT Begin with a full cup. If we re going to fall in love with what we do, we need all the energy we can get. Find guides. Want to fall in love with what you do? Then hang out with folks who are in love with what THEY do. Act as if. What I ve learned is sometimes you just have to act as though you can do it. Express gratitude Whenever I take a photograph I can t help saying thank you. I m not really sure why I do it or when it started, but I do know expressing my gratitude increases my happiness. Make a contribution I m not going to worry about making a difference. If that happens, it happens, I ll just take the responsibility of making a contribution, the best that I can, by falling in love with what I do. Pass it on When you love what you do, you pass it on. That s the way it is Pu uwai Aloha a loving heart. Chase the light A lot of people think photographers wait for the light to be just right. Maybe some do. I don t. I can t. It might not ever happen. I have to take action, to follow the light no, not follow it, chase it. Chase the light. I just can t wait. DeWitt Jones (2002) 2008 Management and Leadership Conference SC Paddock page 9
