A Photo of Nothing


A photo of nothing?  Yup, that's right, a photo of nothing.  What makes this photo worthy of any attention.  It's a blank wall, no color, no meaning, not even fully in focus.  What is so interesting about it?  My personal opinion about this picture is that it is a starting point for many different topics.  First topic, the strip in focus.  Playing with depth of field and a quality lens allowed for this perspective.  Texture is apparent and so is the depth. This is similar to anyone starting off in business.  You can see the rough edges and they maybe out of focus, looking for the right direction to go.  The color is white, a color that allows for addition, a blank canvas that is looking for inspiration and ideas.  I was once a blank canvas, and over time I've added to my palette of colors (knowledge) and have learned to make my ideas become reality.  These two ideas lead to the discussion that we have all heard the term "blank canvas."  Welcome to my blank canvas, where do you see yourself and how do you make yourself stand out?  Don't be afraid of failure, keep doing what is important and make sure you stay focused.
