This past year I have been really trying to not be so quick to have my mind made up in a split second. Becasue so many people have a story... are dealing with different things. And you think that I would have realized that being one of those people who have a story. This year I've been able to slow down and listen to the world around me... to see what I can do for someone who is hurting or in need. Great post Scott. <abbr><em>Adams last blog post..<a href="http://adamchristopherowens.blogspot.com/2008/10/view-out-our-window.html" rel="nofollow">The view out our window..</a></abbr></em> I am guilty of this.

I look a direction, and look away thinking one particular thing about that one particular person. Just like your eagle - it is only a piece of the story - not the entire story, but if I stop there - well then I get the snapshot not the story. Do we judge people in this fashion? & Do we conclude the worth of someone based on these snapshots? I think I am moving further away from this approach these days. I was definitely there a few years back, but I feel I am not above anyone else. If I am not above (or below them) then how can I judge them. That is not my role. That is God's role. Anyway, thanks for the post. I appreciate the words you put out there and how you tie it back to your art. <abbr><em>Michaels last blog post..<a href="http://justanotherminute.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/ugh/" rel="nofollow">UGH</a></abbr></em> do we look at something from the outside and make conclusions without knowing the entire story? – I think so many of us do.

I'm more into video myself, but wish my video looked half as good as your pictures. I'm sure I could probably learn a thing or two from you! Hey man, your photography is absolutely amazing.
