Earth, Water, Sky
Something I learned from Bob Stewart at one of his visits to the Marriott for a presentation of ActiveRain in Plano, TX several years ago, is that using photographs in a blog post is an effective way to get noticed with SEO. From that day on, I didn't just take photographs, I practiced as if I was preparing for the State Bar exam! Try, try, try, as I did, I felt that on ActiveRain there was always somebody better than me. To be clear, that was not Bob's intent to convey that message - it was MY interpretation. Bob Stewart always wants Agents and people in the Real Estate industry to do well for themselves and others.
REFLECTION
In recent weeks, I attended a work-shop with Chris Jackson, Photographer at the Dallas Arboretum and most recently a meet-up at a local park. Taking photos with a group of photographers and people interested in learning has been very enlightening. Being part of a group, whether it is membership in ActiveRain or a local organization is fun, educational, and inspiring. I now understand what Bob was saying - I just took it to a different level. But I don't think, I'm alone. We are all students on life's beautiful planet earth, big blue sky, and water.
Having active membership with ActiveRain invites you to partake in the adventures of Real Estate, storytelling, photography, technical skills, marketing, advertising, call to actions, and friendship. The premise of one of my most recent photographs, shared here today is the subject to encourage you to rediscover who you are, and share the best of what you have to give back to others to inspire and educate.
To derive the most out of your AR experience share your passion. Be yourself. Pay close attention to how you conduct business and the feedback you receive, know that not everyone has your best interest at heart, but that is a very small minority. The majority of members are a priceless reminder that people were created to help one another. Something as simple as earth, water, sky, and the people and animals on this planet yields many visual rewards. Never underestimate the power of what a good photograph and story can do for you and others too.
