Listen & Learn you fiapoks out there....

Since starting on my photography journey, I've researched the works of many talented photographers. All that I came across were great, but no-one as great and powerful as the great Sue Bryce. She is an all-round inspiration. Sue started her photography business in her parent's garage with money borrowed from her parents. Today, she is a world renowned contemporary portrait photographer. I absolutely love and adore Sue and her work. She posts photos from her shoots and she posts tips and she even creates and delivers workshops for anyone at any level of photography in the industry. The thing I love about Sue is, she is so open with her style. She loves sharing her ideas, her tips and her work. She is real!

Just yesterday, a fiapoko photographer posted on a private photographer's forum on facebook - his frustrations about people copying Sue's poses and style. He said that we should find our own style - he was right, except for someone fairly new and lots to learn, a lot of us need to imitate Sue's style while finding our own. Sue talks about this in one of her workshops on CREATIVELIVE.

In response to this fiapoko's message, Sue herself posted this, and I could not agree more. 
I once read if you never give away your knowledge you stay stuck. If you give it away you force yourself to create more. So true but the question is. What is original, NOTHING. IT'S not yours anyway you don't own a single thing. In fact as you create there are people all over the world thinking they have original thought. Nothing is original, nothing BELONGS to you. Create, share and then create more. You will be richer don't hold/hoard/think you are the owner. You are a vessel. That's the gift of a teacher, of a creator. Possession is limited. Giving is divine.
More power to you Sue

to view her stunning work, you can visit her website http://www.inbedwithsue.com/blog/ - I am seriously addicted to that site :)

WOW...life must've been really interesting the last 2 years - - So as I try to figure out my life for 2020, let's recount from where we left off in 2017, shall we? hhhmmmmm 2018, let's see. I resigned from the bank because I needed a break. 2 weeks later I started a job at the State Capitol. (What can I say - Never say DIE! lol) I was excited for the opportunity to make a difference and affect change in our local communities. Needless to say, it wasn't what I expected it to be and like anything in government, it was all a bunch of hot air and no action. Action-less promises! The system is severely  BROKEN, the Capitol NEEDs Young Blood, we need educated politicians who actually walk the talk, and OMG the procedures and processes are still stuck in the 90's - and we wonder why nothing gets done in government. Legislative session ended in June and so did my short lived career in politics...hehehe. It was honestly NOT worth the headaches and wrinkles. I quickl...

Visiting us today is the fabulous Lani Wendt Young; author of the book that had me started on a sleeping disorder, "TELESA:THE COVENANT KEEPER". I'm sure we've all read it, and if you haven't, now is your chance to buy and be absorbed into the world of Leila & Daniel (and Jason *winks*) Only $5.99 for the eBook on AMAZON . Lani's here for an interview that TEAM JASON's been waiting for. YES, an interview with the hot surfer boy/volcanologist himself while he's here checking out the Pipeline competition at Sunset BEACH and of course visiting one of his favorite fans *ahem* ------ We’ve been hearing a lot about Daniel and I thought it was time that we shine the spotlight on another very important person in Leila’s life…her (cough) friend Jason who is here in Hawaii visiting Jen’s Blog. Jason's too shy for a photo so here is his TWIN BROTHER Hi Jason, thanks for taking time from your busy schedule to join us here on Jen’s blog...
