Today I Love: Photographer John Chiara.

Image Credit: John Chiara

I don't care who you are, you've got to check out photographer John Chiara (Jon you and Leo will dig this to the max). There are two YouTube videos highlighting his workflow posted over at Digital Photography School today. They're a little long, but totally worth it. Check them out HERE. He takes only an image a day, and it is absolutely remarkable to see what goes in to the process. Talk about passion and connection to your work!

I don't care what you do or who you are. . . if we all were as connected, committed to and CONSCIOUS OF our passions as Mr. Chiara, I think we'd live much more connected and fulfilled lives.

The man "INSIDE" the camera. Woah! This guy is absolutely amazing -- lots of lessons to be learned from him about life and loving the process to achieve the result--too many of us are unsatisfied until we get the "result" only to find out that the result wasn't all that satisfying--LOVE THIS! THRIVE IN THE PROCESS!
