Living In Layers - The OFFICIAL Layers Magazine Blog

Tuesday News and Notables

CATEGORIES: Living In Layers | RC | August 18, 2009

Hey everyone, good morning! There are a bunch of things that I have flying about that I wanted to get to you that I thought were pretty neat:

Joe McNally’s Blog:
I came in this morning and saw Joe made a post about taking your Questions on the Peachpit website, which I think is an awesome idea. Following the blog down further I noticed that an image that Joe took of my wife Jenn is the front and back cover of Nikon World Magazine!! A great idea – get your questions answered from Joe McNally AND get to see a cool shot:

Zack Arias – He Just Rocks
If you aren’t a follow of Zack Arias Blog, you should. Aside from being a very talented photographer, he has recently become one of the first places I stop by in the morning. A lot of what we do as a “Creative” individual is based on being passionate about you do. There are times when that passion can get a little low. I go to Zack’s blog for a good healthy dose of inspiration.

Take this last couple of days for example. Someone had written in to him asking about “The Next Step” and talked about the fears that associates with it. That and the following blog turned out to be just absolutely incredible and inspiring. Zack made a video of it.. and it’s spot on!!

I’m not going to tell you all about it. You need to go watch it. Believe me, it fills you up.
