Alisane and Alex Ferguson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs a result, our wedding photos are cobbled together from photos taken by other photographer friends who were in attendance. As a result, capturing all of the desired images from a special occasion is dear to my heart.<\/p>\n
When I cover an event these days I try to always have one or two additional photographers with me. I can\u2019t think of everything, be in every spot,\u00a0 nor be assured no technical glitches will ever occur. And when shooting a single image on a project, I\u2019m delighted to get input from anyone who sees a better possibility before us. I value abundance of involvement.<\/p>\n
I relate this weekend\u2019s experience, not to beat up on an industry peer, but to capture an example of scarcity attitude. Including his snappish comments directed at other guests, everything the photographer did seemed to have come from a place of deep-down anxiety and fear. Fear of not being seen as competent as well as someone else appearing to be more so.\u00a0 I know this fear. Sadly, I\u2019ve embraced it as well. I believe we all have at some point.<\/p>\n
Acknowledging that we\u2019re holding on to fear is no excuse for not finding a means of letting it go. Fear does not serve us and it stands in the way of us serving others as well. This applies to all relationships, business and personal.<\/p>\n
Having an attitude of abundance and possibility may not be everything, but it sure goes a long way towards enjoying the process. And making it more enjoyable for others around us.<\/p>\n
Your thoughts?<\/p>\n
