Seth Godin Blog Post of January 18, 2010 - Unrealized Projects
If you don't know who Seth Godin is and you are interested in business and marketing then you should. He is the author of probably the most popular marketing blog in the world and is the author of 12 bestselling marketing books that have been translated into 33 languages. He is a marketing genius, very entertaining, and his insight and advice really makes you think. It's good advice to follow.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post called "Fear and Photography" and in it I mentioned that Fear was one reason by we don't complete projects that we sometimes have in mind. When I say "We" I mean myself and other photographers as a whole and other than myself no one specific. When I received this email the other day I started thinking that Seth Godin really hit the nail on the head with this post on why we need to put fear aside and as he says "ship".
Here is the Seth Godin post of January 18, 2010, Unrealized Projects in its entirety:
When I was at MOMA last week, I saw a list of director and artist Tim Burton's projects. Here's the guy who's responsible for some of the most breathtaking movies of his generation, and the real surprise is this: almost every year over the last thirty, he worked on one or more exciting projects that were never green lighted and produced. Every year, he spent an enormous amount of time on failed projects.
A few: Catwoman, Conversations With Vincent, Dinosaurs Attack!, The Fall of the House of Usher, Geek Love, Go Baby Go, Hawkline Monster, Lost in Oz, Mai the Psychic Girl, Mary Reilly, Superman Lives, X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes.
One key element of a successful artist: ship. Get it out the door. Make things happen.
The other: fail. Fail often. Dream big and don't make it. Not every time, anyway.
Tim got his ideas out the door, to the people who decided what to do with them. And more often than not, they shot down his ideas. That's okay. He shipped.
Next!
I would suggest that if you are not already a subscriber to his daily blog posting emails that you should go and sign up for them right now. On the upper left hand side of his blog is the box where you put your email address so can subscribe. It will be we'll worth you time to read them daily.

Fear and Photography
I recently watched the movie "Strictly Ballroom", a great quirky Australian movie by Baz Luhmann, on DVD. There is a great line in the movie which is repeated a couple of times that goes " A life lived in fear is a life half lived".
As photographers we sometimes use fear to prevent us from taking photographs. It may be the fear of approaching someone, the fear that the picture won't come out as we envision it or any number of other reasons. The bottom line is that we need to not worry about making the perfect picture every time and we just go out and shoot. The more we shoot the better odds we are going to have of getting the picture(s) we envision.
One of my goals for 2010 is not to let fear interfere with my photography.
Here are some addition quotes concerning fear and failure:
"The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure." - Sven Goran Eriksson
"Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something." - Frederick Smith
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - Franklin Roosevelt

Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 3 public beta version
Several years ago Adobe released, to rave reviews, Photoshop Lightroom a software program that allows you to quickly import, process, manage your photographs. Adobe Labs has recently made Photoshop Lightroom 3 available as a public beta version. I downloaded it the other day and just started playing with it. So far it seems like a great alternative to Photoshop especially for everyday normal adjustement's to your photographs. At first try it seems pretty easy to use. I have never used Lightroom but have always heard great things about it and have considered buying it since it firsts came out. At a list price of $299 for Lightroom 2, it's also a WHOLE lot cheaper than Photoshop CS4 at $699 for the basic edition and $999 for the extended edition .
The website states that the beta version of Lightroom 3 is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2010. I'm going to guess that the official release of Version 3 will be shortly after that date.Version 2 of Lightroom is still available and can be purchased directly from Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshoplightroom/).
If you are intersted in downloading a beta copy of Lightroom 3 here is the link to the website: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom3/
