Wow!! Almost a month since my last post, where have I been?  Actually, I have been out of town a bit working and have not had a chance to sit down and post.  I am off again this Sunday to Toronto for about a week then back to Baltimore.  In June, the look3 photography festival is kicking off and I hope to see some of you there, I will be there.  Last year was full of inspiration, new friends and great parties.  I learned a lot last year while surrounding myself with great photographers.

I was talking with someone the other day and they mentioned that 90% of what we think about on a daily basis is what we were thinking about the day before.  My math translates to only 10% of what we think daily is something new.  I have given this a lot of thought, which happens to be part of this 10%, well that day it did, and I am not sure how true it is, but it has certainly left me wanting to do more for myself.  Reflecting on what may run through my mind during the average day, I am afraid this may hold true. Now that I am aware of the potential truth,  I have been seeking out new thoughts. Sounds strange I know, but the quest for knoweledge can not die or else I am afraid that the mind will become stagnant.

I saw some friends over the weekend that have always made me think and challenged me.  I really admire their passion for reading and expanding their understanding of the world around them.  How do we create this curiosity and desire for learning at a young age so it does not die out as we grow older?  Is it internal motivation or part of a strong education system?
