Every week I challenge myself to take new photos and be more adventurous each time. More and more the images I take are not to be appreciated for just the literal image I see at the time of taking the photo. No, it's the morphing that really excites me.

What you say and how you say it still matters in this day of social media and numerous brand new technological wonders. Perhaps it matters even more. I found both these books enlightening. Tell to win by Peter Guber Connect, Persuade and Triumph with the hidden power of story "Own your backstory so it doesn't sabotage you when you tell your front story."

I've been continually hearing how marketers should be trying new things, be adventurous, take risks and make mistakes. Not all of these concepts sound glamorous, but when lumped together, they do sound palatable and not so daunting.
