Random Thoughts

I reviewed my blogging calendar and realized that I have not been posting as much. This is probably because I have not been shooting as much and instead I’ve been focusing on designing albums and sending them off to Italy for printing. But there is no reason why I can’t find time to post a little something on here twice if not more a week. I mean the purpose of my blog is to showcase my current work and allow my blog stalkers to get an idea on who I am as a person as well. So with that said, I will start to post as often as possible. Some topics may be strange and out there, some may be about current world events or maybe I will ask my readers question’s. Either way my goal is to post more frequently.

Random’s for your Tuesday reading……..

1.  I’m thinking about investing in gold. I’m a big reader of Gary Fong’s blog. Gary is a very wealthy man who made his money investing in real estate while he was a photographer. He then branched out and started creating products for professional photographers. Needless to say he has done really well for himself. If you get a chance check out his blog. It’s not only filled with photographers info, but more importantly he talks in great depth on the future of our economy. When Gary first started talking about what was going to happen to our economy (about 1.5 years ago) I didn’t believe him. He then started sharing wisdom on what he would be doing right now to prepare for the future. He said the first thing to do is invest in gold. At that time gold was $310 an ounce. I looked into it for a bit and decided to wait. Today gold is $803 an ounce and I’m kicking myself. If I would have bought 10 ounces worth of gold then it would have cost me $3100. 1.5 years later (meaning today), I would have made 4930.00 on my gold investment alone. So am I going to buy gold now when its $803 and ounce? YES, I just can’t afford as much. Maybe your asking why? Because gold is expected to reach $2000 and ounce! Readers, if gold does get to 2K an ounce, money will be worthless and precious metals will be the new currency!

2. I’ve been bidding on this really cool job for a couple weeks now. If I get it I will be shooting high end fashion head shots for a local salon. Most of the images will be for local advertising and PR. The main reason I want this job is because I want this imagery for my portfolio. I will be launching a new division of SWP and these images would fit perfect! So if your reading this Lisa & Jenny I hope you guys say yes!

3.  I’m headed to Costa Rica in December for some R & R and adventure. I have no plans except for renting a car and going where the road takes me. So I’m looking for places to go etc. If you have been there before please comment on where to go and what you enjoyed most. Keep in mind I’m not a tourist guy. I would rather avoid those locations!

4. The Eagles are coming! Every year Bald Eagles fly down to Lake CDA to feast on the salmon. I was out looking for them today and I found 2. Within a month there will be at least 100. If you get a chance drive over and check them out.

5.  Pakistan is a mess! I’m glad we gave the all this money and arms to start a democracy and now it “appears” to be a dictatorship. Here is a question ” who believes that we should impose our beliefs on the world”? Why or why not?

6. When did our society get to the point where we just throw people, objects, marriages or significant others out of our lives just because they or “it” don’t fit our wants at the current time? What happened to fixing what was broken? Or talking things out? Instead we say good buy and either look for someone or buy something new. What a vicious and unhealthy cycle. Don’t you think?

7. I want to end this post on a positive note. Click here for a good deed by a fellow citizen in Colorado.

Happy Tuesday.
