Irina Werning's "Back To The Future" Project
One of the people I follow on G+, +Mike Keller, shared an article from The Atlantic on Irina Werning's project called "Back To The Future" where she got old photographs from her subject and meticulously recreated them in the present. The concept is very simple yet visually appealing.

Jason Brubaker on Rejection
A short and simple inspirational video from artist Jason Brubaker. This pretty much applies to anything we do in the course of our lives.
I agree, everyone needs some rejection once in a while... but it also depends on who's giving it. Is it from someone you truly respect? Is it coming from some troll who doesn't have anything better to do? Is it from someone who will always disagree just because?
Either way, we have the final say on how we accept rejection. We can go the path of surrender, shrinking into the eternal darkness of inaction and self-pity, OR we can treat it as the catalyst to light a fire in our bellies, make the necessary course corrections and forge ahead.

QUOTE: Genevieve Lauren Burruss / The Way We Click Photography
Sometimes I ask myself, why get into the business of photography? Why would people spend money on a professional photographer when, nowadays, everyone's a photographer? Here's why... in the words of Genevieve Lauren Burruss:
"Photography is a luxury item in our world, not a necessity, and so for many people the money they invest in hiring a photographer to capture their family portrait, their new baby, their engagement, their 50th birthday party, or their wedding, is precious. As a photographer you are responsible for telling that families story in a way that preserves the joy in their lives for all future generations to come..." - Genevieve Lauren Burruss, The Way We Click PhotographyI may have taken the quote out of context (it is from her Open Letter To A Thief)... but the message in these few sentences just resonates with me. It serves as an inspiration to pursue the craft. Make mistakes and learn from them. Improve and strive to set myself apart from the "good enough" crowd so that I can stand behind my product and paying clients can have the peace of mind that the money they spent on a luxury item was money well spent.

Celebrity photographer Brian Bowen Smith on what's important about your craft...
"What you love isn't necessarily what I love. Best advice I got... Dude, people are gonna hate your shit but keep doing it. As long as you're happy with what you do, nobody can tell you you're right or wrong."
Nuff said :)

Chris Orwig, on capturing a moment...
Yeah, words of wisdom to remind me that when I press the shutter button, I'm doing it because I felt something, and that something caused me to capture that moment, and that moment made me happy.
"... sometimes we don't create the photograph because the light is good, rather we capture the moment because we're there."

Photography Lesson from a Five-Year-Old
Went out for a walk today with my 5-year old daughter in Terrapin Nature Park. I handed her a point-and-shoot camera as I always do when we go out for walks.

Eddie Adams Tip
If you're looking for inspiration on photography, I recommend watching the interviews of famous photographers on Pix Channel. I came about this website through listening to an old episode of the Photonetcast podcast.
I haven't watched all of it but so far my favorite is Eddie Adams... and I quote:
