Yes, I know you’re a master of lighting, that you’ve used every light modifier known, that you’ve been going to PhotoPlus for ten years, that you were one of the first bloggers, you used Twitter before it was cool and you can gauge light temperature in your sleep. Yes, I know that you sit in front of your computer reminding other photographers that they’re using the wrong gear for this job or that job.
But what have you made? Where are your pictures hanging? Where are your campaigns? Your commercials? What about your new book or your portfolio? What have you done with your skills that has been worthy of criticism, that moved the dial and that changed the world?
Go, do that.

Yo, Chase. You aware of this: http://www.presspauseplay.com/about/
Wonderful post! It gives me better perspective.
Thank you Chase!
P.S. It’s true that it is not something new or a new insight, but reading, remembering and thinking about it every year might be better for our work than reading always something new.
It always brings something new to me!
hardly a new insight
What have I created? thanks to you Mr. Jarvis I, at 17, am in the process of filing a DVD for my Pregnancy Help Center to give to clients and individuals seeking information. thanks to your blog I have known some of the things to expect along the way. Which has empowered me to make this a truly special project,including a Houston Symphony cellist recording gratis for the soundtrack. In addition to creating the project, by encouragement of your “Create Share Sustain” post. I am also blogging about this. People in 35 countries have read about my Eagle Project benefiting my PHC. Without the encouragement of your blog this would have never been possible. Thank You.
