From Seth Godin’s blog (hope you don’t mind), but I found this to be a pretty true statement:

What you buy when you buy a lottery ticket
Hint: you don’t buy a future of money.
People who win the lottery are almost always unhappy in the long run, and most of them continue to buy lottery tickets.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Same thing with first dates, blog posts, opening presents and answering a phone call from a stranger.
The thrill of possibility, the chance for recognition, the chemical high of anticipation. That’s what people pay for.

Stunning

I came across a photography site today that simply stopped me in my tracks. I have nothing else to say except this site is beautiful and moving. You MUST look at it and read it. Photographer – Phillip Toledano.

I want to learn how to do this and then create a commercial for myself using this technique.  Not to mention this is simply a great song.

Two 365 Projects You Should Follow

Posted by Matt Lange on Oct 26, 2009 in Uncategorized | 4 comments

With all of the new attention I’ve been receiving, has come comments and emails from places I would have never imagined.  I just so happened to get two comments today from two people doing 365 projects.  I love to watch artists grow and try new things and I will definitely be following these two.

1 – Chris Dickey.  Apparently Chris is also a pilot.  I looked through his images and he has a very impressive variety and a really good eye for this.  Definitely follow him.  He is going places.  CLICK HERE.

2 – Valena David.  Wow, two great amateur photographers in one day.  Valena also happens to work at the amazing play I posted about in the previous post, Fuerza Bruta.  She is really amazing too.  You should also definitely follow her as well. CLICK HERE.

Guys, 365 projects are nothing to take lightly.  I tried once and it literally lasted 3 days.  So keep up with these guys.  Shoot them a line and offer words of encouragement. I want to see them reach their goals and become great photographers.  Also, Chris and Valena, shoot me an email anytime you want.  I’ll respond without a doubt.
