I had a fantastic lunch appointment today on Las Olas with Dawn Kirk, a future bride who encouraged me with these words... "Mike, the reason I've come to you is because this is your passion. If I could take beautiful images I wouldn't need you, but you are the artist and I need you to take hold of the day and add your creative touch." When someone not only values your work, but more importantly values you as an artist...a creator...a visionary, this is one of the greatest compliments one could offer. I love what I do but....i think I love sharing what I do with others even more. Just a reminder: if there is someone in your life or even someone you don't even know that you believe deserves recognition, then tell them. Whether you write them a letter, take them to lunch, drop them an email or whatever you think of...just don't keep it to yourself.
