The Power of "Yes!"

This not about photography specifically (but remember - my blog = my rules) but I guess you could apply this to photography; the power of "YES!"

I have just finished reading the book "Yes Man" by Danny Wallace. Please put all thoughts out of your mind of that nut job Jim Carey and the lame film of the same name. The film is supposedly "based" on the book. You judge. Danny Wallace is a 30 (ish) year old English writer and broadcaster living in and writing mainly about London. Jim Carey is a 47 year old nut job neither living in, pretending to live in or indeed writing about London. I rest my case!

Anyway get the book. It is about Danny's experiences of just saying "yes" to offers and opportunities for a couple of months. It is funny, uplifting and motivational. Whilst I would never go that far, as the (officially) most negative man in Europe, I have taken a leaf out of Danny's book by saying yes to things...................very occasionally. It feels good!

In photography terms it has lead me, so far, to embark on the BFP (British Freelance Photographers) course which I will be telling you about later. It has also lead me to buy a prime lens (see previous posts). Who knows what other wild and wacky photographic adventures this may lead me on (bankruptcy probably). Watch this space!
