Prepared to be inspired!
A number of you who follow this blog also know that I’ve been using photography as a creative outlet, and a way to let my mind work on other things that don’t end up as source code on a computer. One of the guys I’ve been following for a while is Zack Arias. He’s well known for his OneLight Workshop, and has an amazing story about he came to be the photographer he is today.
He was asked to be a guest blogger for Scott Kelby’s blog a while back. Instead of writing an article, he put up a video called Transform. Often we all wear masks, and never show what’s happening behind them… but not Zack. He let us know about his personal struggle, and made a motivational video to encourage folks to keep trying.
That’s sparked an email, which led to a blog post called How Many Of You Are Standing On The Dock?. The outpouring of response has been phenomenal. Zack and B really struck a chord with folks, and the amount of positive energy it has created is almost overwhelming. Story after story after story… Amazing.
But it doesn’t end there. A convicted felon, Derrick, ended up knocking on Zack’s door, and it turned out, he had something to share… Dope, Soap, and Hope.
I think we all have a story like this. There’s a step we’d like to take, but it’s so far off course from where we’re at it seems impossible to get to our destination. Check out the links above, and prepare to be inspired! There are tons of amazing stories in there!
