Lately, I have really been searching for what a friend and mentor calls my unique perspective. What the heck does that mean? I am still trying to figure it out. One thing I have always been good at is being what I think people want me to be. This can be a great skill, but it can compromise my own direction. So, I am trying to find balance, with what makes me happy and follow my heart and instincts instead of what I think others want. Its a way better way to go about life since I really can't please everybody. I recently read an article in Parade magazine about the actor Harrison Ford that struck at the core of what I am striving for: “I am secure in what I do,” he says. “I am very interested in having the respect of the people I work with, but I am not generally out looking to be admired. I want to be good at what I do, and I want to learn from other people how to get good, be good, stay good.” These last few years I have been opening myself up to learning more from those in the wedding film industry that inspire me. Hopefully this will continue to help me get good, be good and stay good!
As Harrison also says “I don’t look at things from an art perspective, I look at them from a craft perspective." To me this means that it can only get better and better! Which is a great perspective!

Kara,
I am a little guy with a new Canon mini DV camcorder who hopefully will be shooting marketing videos for websites in Florida only. Anyone can learn to be and do anything they choose if they want something bad enough..success and achievement. I'm learning alot online from people like you in the biz. Great blog and all the best.
Thanks Charles! I agree, if you have the heart and passion, you will succeed! Best of luck, Kara
