Red Sky (2008) Collection | Landscapes https://eric-jackson.smugmug.com/LANDSCAPES/i-Mtb8hQP/buy One of the most unique Skyscapes in my Collection. A Polarizer Filter was used on the camera lens to reduce reflection and increase Color Saturation. However, the red Color is the result of deepening the Shadows. Much of my earlier pieces have deep Shadows and intense Light, which is quite the opposite approach compared to how many beginners are taught. After several attempts to replicate this red Skyscape during sunset, only Photographs from this specific day gave me this result.

"If we always handle Conflict with an Eye for an Eye, Eventually No One will be able to see." -ecj | Warning: This is a Political discussion. What happens when Hate is used to combat Hate? Insult for Insult? Pain for Pain? The results are what's happening to the United States of America today. Is anyone able to slow the tide before the entire Country is consumed by who Wins an Election?

One of the things I'm asking God to help me with is how I react when feeling slighted. Collaboration is extremely important when working on large Projects. Everyone on the team brings something to the table. However, as I've pursued certain goals there have been moments of feeling belittled. Today, I was incredibly outspoken in standing up for myself (for a change). Yet, it only seemed to make matters worse. Ultimately, I had to walk away while fighting the urge to get the last word in. In the end, I felt the Spirit place a simple message on my heart: "You don't have to convince anyone of who you are." You know who you are. That needs to be enough. Whether someone acknowledges your hard work or they dismiss you, your Confidence remains the same. Suddenly, I realized how much I want to prove that I belong when I really don't have to. My Work speaks volumes. Swallow pride. Ego. Let it go. Still, if your collaboration doesn't create the best work environment, you may need to find a better team.

Creatives (i.e. Artists, Writers, Actors, etc.) are very passionate about what they're doing. Achieving their goals is the top priority that is not easily accomplished. In pursuit of this goal, it's easy to succumb to any opportunity that seemingly promises enormous success. However, these opportunities can also be misleading and leave Creatives feeling used and discouraged.
