Have you hit a dead end?

Do you need creative inspiration?

I highly recommend you visit the profile of h19 on flickr.com

I stumbled upon his photo stream one day and often visit it for creative inspiration.

Some people take the route I did read many books, go to art and photography school, learn all I can from my teachers, start a business, learn to market myself, teach and inspire others and others like h19 just picks up a point and shoot camera and uses his natural eye for seeing a great image and takes great photos, doesn't photoshop them and just posts them on flickr for fun.

Is one better than the other?

What do you really want?

2008-04-08T11:27:00.000-07:00

Are you ready for something else?

Do you want something different in life?
Do you want a big house in the country?
Do you want to travel?
Do you want more time with loved ones?
Do you want to be a successful artist?

Maybe you want security, happiness, freedom...

Why do you want that?

I was recently introduced to a website called the accidentalcreative.com.

What Is Your Your Dream In Life?

2007-02-24T08:38:00.000-08:00

My dream was to become a professional photographer. I sacrificed many things and worked hard. Those close to me that know my full story are quite impressed and even those that don't know my full story are inspired by my actions and accomplishments.

I'm working on my full story for publication now and will publish it here soon. In the mean time I wanted to share with you some words from people that have written me recently about how I inspired them to follow their dreams.

"Wayne when I was looking for a photography school I found you and read all I could about you. I also looked at your work."... "I am 40 will be 41 when I go to Hallamark". I can't wait to be submersed and to learn. I am moving from California...it will be an advanture that is for sure." -- Jvan

"I love your work. I look at the baby crawling down the hallway with the parents in the background from the hallmark book ALL the time! Actually, that is the picture that made my decision to go concrete! You are amazing!" -- Jessica

I'm glad that I was able to Jessica and Jvan to follow their dreams of becoming professional photographers.

It's your choice, what are you going to do?

Are You Living Your Dream?

2005-10-18T23:21:00.000-07:00

Greetings,

I've started this website to help encourage and inspire people that are stuck in dead end jobs and hating life. I was there at one point in my life. Now I'm living my dream of being a full time photographer and graphic designer. I want to help others find their calling and live their dream. Eventually I plan to start a full fledged non profit organization that will be dedicated to this mission. I plan to attract and help mainly those that want to become photographers and graphic artists but the information here should be inspirational to anyone.

Don't ever give up your pursuit of happiness, not matter what it takes!

I will post my full story when I'm done writing it.

Best Regards,
Wayne Wallace
