Took a little break from the blog for a while. Getting my life in order... or something :] Actually, to be completely honest, I've been too busy shooting to blog. As I'm sure [and hope] you can appreciate, my first responsibility is to my fabulous clients, so blogging always takes a back seat for me.
Above are a few of the slides that were playing on a loop before I gave my Personal Vision talk at Inspire Boston. The subjects in each image are the authors of the words in the slide. I got to interview so many incredible people for this talk - some over e-mail, some in person, some on the phone... quite a remarkable process that taught me so much about what is important. Folks from all walks of life.How would you define Personal Vision?
Can you articulate your Personal Vision? Do so.
Where does personal vision come from? Ingrained or Acquired?
How did you go about taking your personal vision and putting it into practice?
How has your personal vision changed over your lifetime?
Have you ever compromised your personal vision for any reason?
Have you ever questioned the authenticity of your personal vision?
How, specifically, does your personal vision translate into something tangible?
What happens without personal vision?
What feeds your personal vision? What inspires your personal vision to grow?
Thanks to some amazing folks!

In one of the craziest adventures I've had in a long time, I left the studio at 4:30a to head down through the snowstorm to meet up with Grey and her lovely French speaking ladies as they hunkered down to prepare for their day amidst the snowfall. What normally would have been a 20min drive took me over an hour and a half, but it was so worth it :] To listen to the beautiful language bounce off the walls of the little salon was the best thing to start my day with.
Eventually we made our way out to Gibbit Hill and met up with Shane who, much to his dismay, ended up rocking it out on the dance floor. All in all? Awesomesauce. Wonderful friends, delicious food, warm beverages and at the center of it all, an incandescent relationship. What more could you ask for? Without further ado, I humbly present to you...

I've heard so many wonderful things about your presentation and so wish I could have been there to see you in action (and barefoot, as rumor has it). You inspire us, e. Thanks for wearing your heart on your sleeve every minute of every day and being such an incredible friend. Adore you to bits!
(04.18.10 @ 01:55 PM)Wow. Perfect, perfect timing for this post. I, along with so many of my friends, have been struggling with the "what do I want to be when I grow up" question for what seems like forever. What I'm beginning to realize is that maybe it doesn't have to be just one thing, one passion that I pursue. One thing I know for sure is that I'm not going to find something I'm truly passionate about; unless I put myself out there, and soak up as many new experiences as I possibly can. I would much rather fail at attempting something new and exciting, than succeed at a job I hate. I loved reading everyone's words of wisdom~ truly insightful. Thank YOU Eric for sharing and inspiring.
(04.18.10 @ 10:21 PM)Can you do this talk again? Please? I think we all need to hear it. You. Inspire. Love to you you you.
