			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every time I play with film or macro photography I learn more about light and colors. Everyone continuously learns, and it is good for our minds and hearts.</p>
<p>Working with new things improves brain function, memory and enriches our lives!</p>
<p>Last night I found an iPad App that acts as a back up light source. It also comes with patterns and colors that can be used for lighting purposes or as backgrounds.</p>
<p>So, as a test this morning I used the iPad app and my iPhone 4s with a macro lens and took the following image.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5944" title="IMG_0291" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0291-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is a crystal cube with an etching of the &#8220;London Eye&#8221; inside, placed on a pattern of color on the iPad! I think it came out kind of cool!</p>
<p>I love learning with light and color&#8230;and it makes me a better photographer! Aren&#8217;t your wedding images better taken by someone that loves color and light?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An incredible and <span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://paulmanke.com/2011/08/10/beauty/"><span style="color: #888888;">beautiful</span></a></span> friend of mine sent me her older Nikon camera that had be outfitted for infrared photography. Infrared photography is photography of a light spectrum that is not visible to the human eye. For a more detailed description of infrared photography you can go <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_photography">here.</a></p>
<p>I have really enjoyed using this camera because it brings out an incredible range of highlights you would never see on your own.</p>
<p><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="0001" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/0001.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="498" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="0002" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/0002.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="498" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="0003" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/0003.jpg" alt="" width="498" height="750" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="0004" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/0004.jpg" alt="" width="498" height="750" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="0005" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/0005.jpg" alt="" width="563" height="750" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="0006" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/0006.jpg" alt="" width="563" height="750" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="0007" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/0007.jpg" alt="" width="563" height="750" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="0008" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/0008.jpg" alt="" width="563" height="750" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unfortunately, cemeteries are great places for infrared! There is usually a lot of greenery around and the cold of the stone makes for some beautiful images.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoy my adventures in infrared!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many times people get so caught up in the &#8220;flash &amp; sparkle&#8221; of a wedding. Everything has to be perfect! The colors have to match! The groom&#8217;s tie needs to be the same shade of the napkins at the reception! It can go on and on!</p>
<p>Sometimes when this happens, you get what is called the &#8220;Peacock Effect&#8221;  A peacock is one of the most beautiful birds you may ever see; except when you get really close! A peacock, up close is just ugly! Ugly black wrinkled skin and a really bad attitude!</p>
<p>The &#8220;Peacock Effect&#8221; happens behind the scenes! While everything is beautiful and coordinated; countless hours of arguments, frustrations and  near break ups are behind the extravagant details.</p>
<p>However, there is beauty in simplicity! Keeping a wedding beautiful, simple and stress free is very beautiful thing to see! It&#8217;s rare! It only happens on rare occasions!</p>
<p>This is just as rare&#8230;the beautiful albino peacock! Simple&#8230;looks like a snowflake!  <img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="image002" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/image002.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="384" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="image001" src="http://paulmanke.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/image001.jpg" alt="" width="607" height="384" /></p>
<p>So, the moral of the story is, yes, there is beauty in simplicity!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are places you should never go&#8230;.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a place we all go, &#8220;What am I doing?&#8221; &#8220;Where am I going?&#8221; &#8220;Why is nothing working?&#8221;</p>
<p>And somehow we get stuck there, right there in our own heads! Everything around us, our life, our business, everything becomes a blur. And it somehow doesn&#8217;t matter anymore.</p>
<p>Your mind, it&#8217;s a scary place in there! Never go there alone!</p>
<p>Fortunately, something pulls us out. It isn&#8217;t always the same thing but it gets us out of the dark place we&#8217;ve get ourselves into!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been in my head for far too long. Fortunately, I&#8217;ve found my way out.</p>
<p>If you are stuck in your head try reading something inspiring. The internet is full of inspiration and stories of people and the amazing things they do.</p>
<p>If you need help getting out of your head, send me a message. I can share some amazing things with you.</p>
<p>Just remember, don&#8217;t go there alone! It can be a scary place! <img src='http://paulmanke.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
