Wednesday's Words

Improved attitude

No matter how good and positive your attitude may be, you can improve it. And when you improve your attitude, your attitude improves you.

 To improve your attitude, you don’t have to deny reality. When you improve your attitude, it doesn’t mean things will be perfect.

What it means is that you’ll be more positive, more effective, and more solidly focused on the best possibilities. What it means is that you’ll live and act from a position of strength.

 With an improved attitude, you can still clearly see all the problems. Yet instead of living in fear of them, you’ll choose to be bigger than those problems.

Right now, there’s a certain way you feel about life, and a certain way you expect life to be. Just think of what could happen if you made the choice to raise those expectations.

 Whether you have a great attitude or a lousy one, decide today to improve it. For where your attitude goes, your life will quickly follow.

Wednesday's Words- Fear or Purpose

International Pillow Fight Day 2013

This past weekend I headed downtown to photograph International Pillow Fight Day at Pershing Square. The 2011 Pillow Fight Day had a huge turn out but this year's was on a much smaller scale, possibly due to it not taking place last year and many people unaware of it happening this year. Non-the-less is was still a fun day and fun to shoot. Check out the short photo essay below.

Jay Shells Combines Rap Lyrics & Street Art

Street artist Jay Shells has come up with a cool and clever way of putting together his love of hip-hop and street art. Check it out below.

"Street artist Jay Shells has a new project that brings together rap lyrics with the places that inspired them, putting up custom signs of lyrics like Big L’s ”On 139 and Lenox Ave There’s a big park, and if you’re soft don’t go through when it gets dark” right where they belong.

Watch a short documentary on the project above, and see the signs in their new homes in the gallery below." ~Pigeonsandplanes.com
