Your innovations turned our world on it’s ear and helped people to “Think Different”.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

I bought a Canon DSLR about six months ago in preparation for my road trip, but only recently decided to actually learn how to use it. I just finished a digital photography class up in Kenosha where I learned damn near everything there is to learn about my camera and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. My love of photography is burning hotter than ever before and I can’t wait for opportunities to get out and take pictures (Ed, I think you need new photos for your website. Again.).

One of the subjects that a classmate brought up was HDR which I’m dying to play around with. First chance I get, I’m going to get out and put some of my ideas to the test. Results will be posted here for shits and grins.

And as soon as I’m done reading a fabulous first novel for a friend, my other hobby will take the main stage again when I blow the dust off of a three-year-old manuscript. Fun times ahead to be sure.

Godspeed, Discovery!

Sorry I missed you, but glad you finally made it up.
