Join the Deep-dive team as they discuss Towards an Institutional or Apostolic Vision by Alejandro Rodríguez, a long-time member of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) since 1989. The book is addressed to fellow "warriors" in YWAM, encouraging them to reflect on the organization's vision and remove practices that are commonplace in ministry but do not align with God's expectations.Become a paid subscriber to The Kingdom Reformation leader's community and download the book for free! Sign up at https://kingdomreformation.org The book argues that YWAM is best understood not as a Christian organization but as an "apostolic mission.". This distinction is important because it impacts how the organization and its members see themselves. Rodríguez warns against falling into a "Para-church" mentality, where YWAMers view themselves as separate from or superior to the local church. Instead, YWAM should be "part of something greater" -- namely, the global church.An apostolic vision, according to the sources, has several key characteristics:It involves recognizing that God has already been at work and that YWAM has "a glorious inheritance" to build on and pass on to future generations It requires seeing YWAM as a family, not just a hotel where people come and go as they please It prioritizes discipleship, which is "a lifestyle," not just a six-month or one-year programIt calls for "passing on a legacy," not just delegating tasksIt means impacting society beyond just church activities, striving to be "relevant in society"It involves dependence on God, not moneyOne of the biggest threats to this apostolic vision is the tendency to become "institutionalized". Rodríguez draws contrasts between an institutional and an apostolic approach to various aspects of YWAM life and ministry:Institutional vs. ApostolicChristian Organization vs. Apostolic Mission [4]Looking Out for One's Own Ministry vs. Being Part of Something Greater [7]Bases vs. Missionary Communities [17]Leaders vs. Pastors/Spiritual Parents [18]Training vs. Discipleship [19]Staff Members vs. Servants of God [20]Pastoral Care vs. Pastoral Life [21]Delegating a Task vs. Passing on a Legacy [22]Students vs. Disciples [23]Institutional Presence vs. A Mission that is Relevant in Society [14]Ministerial Activities vs. A Vision to Follow [24]Bound to Money vs. Depending on God [16]Rodríguez uses numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points. These range from personal experiences in YWAM Argentina to biblical stories. Notably, he emphasizes the role of families in YWAM, highlighting the challenges and opportunities they face [25, 26]. He also stresses the importance of recognizing "openings, opportunities, and urgency" in missions [27]. By responding to these, YWAM can truly make a difference in society and be part of God's work of transforming nations.The sources conclude with a call to action, urging YWAMers to reflect on what they have read and to allow the Holy Spirit to renew their lives and ministries [28].

Learn from the experts, leave with new ideas, and turn your passion for the industry into new possibilities. Register now to save up to 30%.   Nick Miller is the Director of Guest Experience for Original X Productions. With a career that began in his teenage years, Nick's passion for attractions was sparked by a contest win at Six Flags Great America, leading him to pursue roles in marketing, public relations, and operations with Merlin Entertainments. Now at OGX Productions, Nick helps create immersive, branded experiences like the Friends Experience and Harry Potter Magic at Play. OGX Productions, a leader in location-based branded entertainment, is known for delivering high-quality, interactive experiences in partnership with major intellectual properties. In this interview, Nick talks about being part of the show, the need for human connection, and trusting your crazy ideas. Being Part of the Show "The staff really can make or break just about any experience. They can play roles, they can play characters, and they can be so into Friends and be a Friends superfan themselves that they're teaching our guests things that they didn't know about the show previously." Nick emphasizes the importance of staff engagement in delivering exceptional guest experiences. At OGX Productions, team members are encouraged to immerse themselves in the worlds they represent, whether it's Friends, Harry Potter, or other beloved franchises. By embodying characters and using specific vocabulary, staff can create an authentic and engaging atmosphere. This approach not only enhances the guest experience but also ensures that visitors feel a deeper connection to the attractions. Training and recruitment are crucial to this process. Nick highlights the need for finding individuals who are passionate about the IPs and providing them with the tools to succeed. This includes giving staff members a script of lines and scenarios to use, ensuring they can interact with guests in ways that feel both natural and magical. By doing so, OGX Productions maintains high standards of guest satisfaction and engagement. The Need for Human Connection "People have a craving for real connection and real experiences and something that is going to transport them out of the every day and allow them to suspend their disbelief somewhere else. And that's where attractions can come in." Nick discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by technology in the attractions industry. While smartphones and digital content offer convenience, they often fall short in providing the deep, emotional connections that in-person experiences can offer. Attractions have the unique ability to offer immersive, multi-sensory experiences that cannot be replicated online. This is crucial in an age where human connection is increasingly mediated by screens. Nick believes that attractions must leverage this advantage by creating environments that foster genuine interactions and memorable moments. By doing so, they can attract visitors who seek more meaningful and engaging experiences. This emphasis on human connection helps differentiate attractions from digital entertainment and reinforces their value in creating lasting memories. Trusting Your Crazy Ideas "Trust your crazy ideas. It's something that I've held very close to me since college, and I just went with it." Nick's philosophy of embracing unconventional ideas has been a guiding principle throughout his career. He recounts a story of bringing LEGO minifigures to a networking event, which helped him stand out and make connections. This willingness to think outside the box has not only fueled his personal success but also driven innovation within the organizations he has worked for. In the context of staff development and leadership, Nick encourages a culture where employees feel empowered to propose and pursue bold ideas. This approach fosters creativity and drives progress within the industry. By trusting their instincts and taking calculated risks, leaders and team members alike can contribute to the growth and evolution of their attractions, ultimately enhancing the guest experience.   For those interested in connecting with Nick or learning more about Original X Productions, he can be reached on LinkedIn.

In this episode of Hanger Flying, host Randy Taussig interviews Charlie Sample, a retired air traffic controller. They discuss the retirement age for air traffic controllers, the stress and challenges of the job, and the relationship between pilots and controllers. They also talk about the benefits of being part of the aviation community, including the Smokehouse Pilots Club. The conversation ends with a lightning round of fun questions. Takeaways Air traffic controllers are required to retire at the age of 56, which can contribute to a shortage of controllers. The job of an air traffic controller involves chronic fatigue due to shift work and stress. Pilots and air traffic controllers have a mutual respect and understanding, and their collaboration is crucial for safe and efficient flights. Being part of the aviation community, such as the Smokehouse Pilots Club, provides opportunities for connection, support, and shared experiences. The aviation industry is both exciting and dangerous, and it requires constant diligence and preparedness.

I think maybe, maybe I should call these the Land Rover Editions and actually separate them out from our normal podcasts. Mostly because when I was at the photography show at the beginning of the year, quite a few people came up to me and said how much they enjoyed them. [00:00:24] Though looking in the mirror right now, I do look like I think a pilot, with my microphone, it's either that or Madonna, and I don't know which is better. I'm gonna go with pilot with the microphone on. However, quite a few people came up to me and said how much they enjoyed the podcast, when it's from the Land Rover, the podcast episodes. [00:00:43] Except for Fiona. Fiona told me in no uncertain terms that not so keen, doesn't like them, wish I'd stopped doing them. Sadly however, look at the weather out here, it's just ridiculous. There's a huge flood. Water everywhere. Good job I'm driving this thing, I think. It's going to be an exciting trip. [00:01:03] Note to self drive careful. The Journey and the Mastering Portrait Photography Podcast [00:01:06] Anyway, this is one of the Land Rover editions of the Mastering Portrait, no, hang on, yes, no, that's right. I'm Paul. This is a Land Rover edition of the Mastering Portrait Photography Podcast. [00:01:33] The challenge with doing these particular versions of the podcast is, of course, the priority is to arrive safely at wherever it is I'm heading. [00:01:44] Today it's the Hearing Dogs: I've got to photograph of some newborn puppies. Well, eight weeks old, so cute, yeah, cute. And also some Christmas stock imagery. The date today is the something of February. What is it? 7th, 8th, 9th something of February. Haven't looked the date up. And we're doing the Christmas, or some of the Christmas stock imagery ready for the end of the year. [00:02:06] Now in some ways it feels absolutely ridiculous that we're doing that, but on the other hand, it's perfectly planned. So I'm actually quite happy about it because normally, every year I've photographed Christmas stock imagery in sort of August, which makes life very tricky when you're trying to hide flowers, make it, the light look slightly bluer. [00:02:25] And ignoring the fact that the dog is panting in the heat. Today, that's not going to be a problem. It's 4 degrees according to the thermometer on the car. It is absolutely tipping it down with rain and has been by the look of it for the past 12 hours because there are floods everywhere. It's going to be a slightly lively journey through the lanes of Buckinghamshire to the Hearing Dogs site. [00:02:49] So anyway, Fiona, I'm sorry I've, I set out at the beginning of the year that I was going to run at least once a week, the podcast would come out once a week, but finding the time for that has been nigh on impossible. On Tuesday. The Importance of Being Part of the Photography Industry [00:03:04] We spent the entire morning judging the images for the British Institute of Professional Photographers, the BIPP image competition, which is such a joyous, I mean, you know, some of the greatest pleasures of getting involved in the industry are that I'm involved in the industry. [00:03:21] I know that may be alien to some people. I get asked quite a bit, what do you get out of it? And I'm going to guess that everybody who sticks their head over the parapet and does judging, mentoring, gets involved with various associations. You get a fairly, a fairly repeated question of what on earth is in it, for me, for other, you know, people asking why they would join, for instance. [00:03:44] What do I get for my 15 quid a month or whatever it is, I don't even know how much it is. And the answer I'd always say is I get to be part of something. I get to be part of something bigger than just myself, Sarah, Michelle, and we're actually a pretty big business when it comes to the photography industry in terms of brand, but also in terms of turnover. [00:04:02] We have a You know, a reasonably big business, the three of us run but it's still, in terms of the industry itself, if it wasn't for the associations, we'd be running it on our own, and yeah, alright, I'm with clients all the time, which is amazing, but it's the, things like the society's convention. Being part of the BIPP. [00:04:19] com, being a judge for the FEP, that's just started this week, so I'm judging for the Federation of European Photographers as well, and it looks like I'm about to do some judging across the pond. with our American friends. The Challenges of Recording Podcasts and Listener Engagement [00:04:35] So, all in all, a lot's going on and, and , finding time to record the podcast just isn't that easy. [00:04:42] On top of that, the thing I've suddenly had to become increasingly cognizant of is I've started to get emails of people who are discovering the podcast for the first time and are now listening to back episodes, and this particular message, I suppose, was triggered, or this thought was triggered, by an email that came from another Paul, I mean, great name, of course, another Paul, who had started listening to the podcast, and when he emailed in the other day, he was on episode 31. [00:05:09] Now, I didn't look up the date of episode 31, but given we've been doing this for about Eight years now. Seven or eight years. Episode 31 is quite a long way back. Goodness only knows what's changed since then. And it may be another six years at that run rate before he gets to this episode of 145. So, who knows? [00:05:33] So now I've got to be very careful. I don't get too specific on dates because by the time some people listen to these episodes it could be well out of date. Equally, there are people who've probably started episodes What, 144, and are now working their way backwards, but still won't get to 100, this episode, 145, for quite a long time. [00:05:53] So forgive me if some of the stuff I talk about is very particular to the moment. Can't do a lot about that. The Timelessness of Radio Programs and the Future of the Podcast [00:06:00] One of my favourite radio programmes to listen to is Letter from America. Have I talked about this before? I've no idea. Letter from America, by a guy called Alastair Cook. He's, he's dead now. [00:06:12] This was on Radio 4, BBC Radio 4, and I think you can still Listen to it. Oh, I listened to it on the BBC Sounds app and many of the back episodes are there. And I really like the fact that it's of its time. I was listening to an episode the other day that was actually about the Middle East, and it's incredible. [00:06:31] I mean, These episodes must be, I think, 40 years old? You're looking at the mid 80s. And the politic of the region and things that were going on sounded like they could have been today, right here, right now. And I find stuff like that really interesting. So I suppose in a sense you can have a recording that is of its moment and yet still be pertinent later on. The Arrival at the Hearing Dogs Site and the Struggles of PodcastingThe Arrival at the Hearing Dogs Site and the Struggles of Podcasting [00:06:57] If I'm still doing this in 40 years, I don't know if I'm going to be driving around the country photographing hearing dogs, but that's what we're doing today. So thank you to Paul for emailing in. It's lovely to get these emails. We get them from people dotted all over the world. [00:07:12] Describing what they're up to. I try to get back to everybody within a certain time frame not always possible, but I do try to, to do it. And those that sort of make me smile, I, I talk about on the podcast itself. Uh, An awful lot going on just at the moment, which is also a reason why I haven't managed To do a sit down at my desk recording really, the only time I've got. [00:07:34] Sorry, I'm so sorry Fiona, I know, alright, I know. But I'll try and make the broadcast as clear as I can. [00:07:41] Even in this clattering vehicle. The Development of the Mastering Portrait Photography Website [00:07:45] Still building the masteringportraitphotography. com website, causing me no end of head scratch. The hardest bit is a combination of technology and trying to figure out where Articles should sit. It's not, it turns out, as straightforward as I would like. Mostly because the platform we're using, or trying to use, or switching to, is more basic than the one I have at the moment. [00:08:12] So the one I have at the moment, I can do anything I like. WordPress, with all of its plugins and all of its technology, of course you can do anything you like. But the problem is, with that kind of power comes an immense amount of work. Keeping on top of it, making sure it's patched correctly, making sure that all my licenses are up to date. [00:08:32] And on top of that, a huge amount of expenditure. Because of its sophistication, well, you pay for it. So, what we're trying to do is simplify everything, because I don't really need that power to do the things I need to do. It's overkill, really, although I enjoy having that sort of level of control. [00:08:54] But the kicker, of course, is now we're simplifying things down, is I'm discovering that certain core things that I relied on, for instance, the structure of how one article can be the child of another article, so you can have a parent which is a really simple idea. The Challenges of Creating a User-Friendly Website [00:09:12] But very powerful. I can't do that on the new platform, so I'm having to figure out ways of still making the content visible, make it logical make it easy to upload and easy to access. [00:09:24] And have a structure that really makes sense, but haven't necessarily been able to find the way of doing that. The Experience of Judging for the BIPP Image Competition [00:09:32] Of course, things like judging the other day they take up time too, but it warranted pleasure. It was just It's the new BIPP monthly competition. So this was month one. So if you're listening to this podcast five years later, you will know whether the BIPP. [00:09:47] com monthly competition has been a success because this was the very first round. A couple of hundred entries, which is really nice. Hopefully that will climb but the, the fun of it is sitting we've recorded the call, so I have it as an audit trial, but sitting on this video conference with two judges looking at images and enjoying the process of assessing images. [00:10:10] Now, the only thing is, it didn't really occur to me, I thought we'll film this, we'll do it properly, so we're using a bit of software called Squadcast which is brilliant, it's one of the, it's, there are various things, a bit, Riverside FM is another one. Where you do it as if it was Zoom, but the video and audio for each participant is recorded locally on their machine, which means it's really high quality. [00:10:29] I can run that then into our podcast software and do an automated transcription, transcribe it, because the new AI tools are Word Perfect. It's brilliant. However, what I hadn't allowed for in the four hour recording is, of course, we judge in silence. Why? Well, it's not because we're really dull. [00:10:53] Well, maybe it is. It's because, actually, we want each judge to determine the score for the image independently. And if there's chatter, if people are sighing, if people are going, Oh, if only they'd done this better, it influences the, the, the judges. They influence each other. And of course, we want there to be an independent scoring because that helps to take out any sort of personal or subjective, I mean the whole thing is subjective, but sort of variability and, and outside influence. So it's great, they judge in silence, they punch in their scores, I announce the score and record it. It doesn't make for a very interesting video. So I'm now not certain that we'll ever release these things because the idea was, and still is, to find ways of providing insight into why an image does well, why an image maybe hasn't done so well, what the judge's thoughts are, but we never really do that during judging. [00:11:50] So, having to have a think about how we might do it. We certainly can't critique a couple of hundred images in the time we have available. And we're going to do this every month. And the thing about the judges is that they are not retired. They are not Part time photographers. These are the best of the best. [00:12:10] They have to be. They have to be current. They have to have their eye in. They have to be working pros for the judging to have validity. If I just used people who are no longer in the industry, they're no longer up to date. They're no longer current. So it's not that I can use judges that have, or we can use judges that have a ton of time at their fingertips. [00:12:33] The most important thing about the judges is they are current and as such they need to be working and if they're working I cannot get a hole in their diary for more than a few hours at a time so we can't critique every image. It's not physically possible but somehow I've got to find a way of getting some of this information out to everyone who entered, entered the monthly competition. [00:13:00] Anyway, it's a lot of fun doing it and those results, the first set of results, will come out. Next week. So if you're a BIPP. com member, look out for those results if you're listening to the podcast. And of course, I would encourage all of you to enter. You get one free image every month. You don't need to pay any money. [00:13:18] But just make sure, just because it's free, doesn't mean that it can be any old image. It's a real competition. We're judging it to the international print competition standard. So it's tough. I make no apology for that. It's really tough, and as such, it's not your everyday work that is going to do really well. [00:13:41] And I'm gonna come back to that as a topic of conversation on the return leg of this journey. However, before I do that, as I'm getting fairly close to the hearing dogs now, the weather's improving. It's still pretty horrible, but at least it's not literally lashing it down as it was when I got into the car. [00:13:58] Quick tip! The Importance of Presets in Photography [00:13:59] This is a quick tip for nothing. It's not the subject of the podcast, but I thought about it while I was a moment ago prepping some files for a upload, and I was in Lightroom, and then in one of the Nik ColorFX, uh, plugins. Is, there are so many presets, lots, presets for plugins, presets for Lightroom. [00:14:23] Presets for Photoshop. There's so much stuff around actions that it gets really hard to track the ones that you created for yourself. And I have this very simple rule of thumb. is for any, any preset, any action, any workflow item, any LUT, any, sorry, a LUT, L U T, lookup table, any color LUT anything at all really, I put my initials at the front of it. [00:14:51] I always put P W because it identifies the things that I created for myself. As opposed to the things that I may have bought the things that I may have downloaded, the things that somebody else was helping me with, the things that I've done for myself, they have the initials PW at the front. And it's not an ego thing. [00:15:11] A couple of times people have cocked an eye because everything I've got has got PW, PW, PW, PW. It's got nothing to do with that. It's got everything to do with the fact that I get really easily confused with the different things that are in the business, the different presets, folders, you name it. So I stick PW at the front to make it clear I did that one and then in two years time Because some of the things I've written they are like five six years old There's some scripts I wrote for Photoshop that we're still using and I think I wrote them ten years ago I know they're mine because they have PW at the front as opposed to some of the scripts I found and downloaded Which are by third parties, and of course, you know, I can use them. [00:15:51] But I certainly couldn't distribute them. And I want to know that if I'm modifying them, I'm modifying somebody else's work. Which is only fair. So, stick your initials. At the beginning of any presets and things that you create for yourself. There you go, that's a top tip for nothing. The Arrival at the Hearing Dogs Site and the Weather Conditions [00:16:08] I'm just about to pull in to the hearing dogs. [00:16:11] Wow, it's a grey day. Look how blue the light is, it's horrible. Ha, ha, ha. Usually, usually at this side of the hill, we come over a slight hill. Um, so it's only, how long I've been driving? What, 10, 15 minutes? It's not that there's a huge difference in location between us and the hearing dogs. The geography does change slightly. [00:16:33] We come over a slight rise onto the other side of a hill, and then onto a plateau, a little bit of a plateau at the foot of the Chilterns. And the weather here is quite often different, very different. Sometimes, particularly, it's most pronounced when it's snowing. We will have snow and they won't, and vice versa, and it really is only 10 minutes separate. [00:16:51] Today, sadly, the weather is exactly the same, which is to say, shitty. There's no, I'm sorry if you're offended by the word, but it's the right word. It is shitty. Dead flat light, cloudy, wet. It's gone down by 0. 2 of a degree since I've been driving. Over this side of the hill, it's 3. 8 degrees. Usually the temperature rises. [00:17:17] Today, it's slightly colder. And I normally would say that I am looking forward to photographing the Hearing Dogs, particularly the puppies. Today, I'm looking forward to the photography. I am not looking forward to lying in a wet field. God, that car park needs a little bit of TLC you can hear the car rattling around on all of the divots and holes and puddles. [00:17:42] And then my, my car cam pinging as it thinks I've hit something. I do think at the moment we live in a country where the roads are in such bad condition. My dash cam. Constantly thinks I've had an accident and records that little bit of footage automatically because it thinks I've hit something, and I haven't hit anything, I'm just driving along the A40. [00:18:05] Right, I'm here. I shall return with the actual subject of this podcast. Maybe that's what Fiona doesn't like, is the randomness of it. Sarah says I repeat myself a lot when I'm recording from the car, so apologies if I am about to do that. However I will see you at the end of this particular shoot. [00:18:23] Right, I'm back. So at the end of that, I've just spent, what is it now quarter past two, uh, four and a bit hours photographing puppies which is beautiful, photographing dogs which are equally beautiful, running dogs, jumping dogs, wet dogs, god the weather's been horrible, and some Christmas images. Of course it's this time of year when we shoot Christmas stuff, but actually created some really, well I mean I think they're beautiful, my client seems to think they're beautiful at this stage, I've only seen them on the back of the camera, but a lot of fun. [00:18:59] We're using more and more and more LED lighting. Which is great when you're balancing up against Christmas lights and fairy lights and daylight. It's so much easier using LED than strobes for that. For the studio stuff, we are still using strobes because we can freeze movement really well, which is really, really important. [00:19:20] So for the white background stuff, those standard shots we create for the charity, very much still strobe, and I don't see that changing. In the near future, uh, because that ability to have, you know, F 16 and that instantaneous pulse of light that freezes motion is a very particular look and just the moment, I don't see that becoming that being replaced. [00:19:44] However, the LED side of it we had four different LED lights two with modifiers, two focusable spots with modifiers and two LED bars. Which just added beautiful touches of light where I wanted them. Made life really easy. I'll share a few of those hopefully on Insta over the next couple of days. [00:20:04] Actually, I won't show them on Insta because they're our Christmas pictures. So no, no, I won't be showing them on Instagram. They're the Christmas pictures, but maybe I'll get to show them. In December next year, or this year. The Concept of Yvonne's Law in Wedding Photography [00:20:14] Over the weekend, and this is, I guess, we're heading towards the point of this particular podcast. [00:20:19] I was photographing a wedding, beautiful wedding, only 13 people, pretty hectic, lots going on, Friday night, Saturday all day, Sunday morning and some of the afternoon. A really beautiful venue, and on the Friday night I got sitting chatting to the mothers of the groom, or the mother, sorry, mother and father of the groom, mother and father of the bride. [00:20:38] And one of them said to me, she said Yvonne told me this. Now at that stage I didn't even know who Yvonne was, so Yvonne, Yvonne, said that she was complaining that all of the shots of her son were the back of his head. And it turns out Yvonne, at a different wedding, was the mother of the groom. And every shot of the groom, it was just the back of his head. [00:21:00] And I said, I don't understand. She said, well, there's lots of shots of them as a couple. You can see the bride's face, very moody, just the back of the groom's head. And do you know what? Instantly, instantly, I knew the kind of shot she was talking about. It's the kind of shot that we see quite a lot when we're judging competitions, or maybe doing Quals. [00:21:21] There's some, it's very moody, but essentially it's a bridal portrait using the groom as context. It's fine, there's definitely a place for it. But if you're shooting a wedding, you might just find yourself getting the reaction that, clearly, Yvonne gave. So, Yvonne is not happy that the photographer has not done what she would regard as the photograph that she would like. [00:21:43] Which, I'm gonna guess, is a photograph of the bride, the groom, three quarter length, front on, snuggled up. Smiling at camera. That's the, that's the, still one of the best selling shots you can create. Certainly if you're pitching to sell to the parents of the couple. Yvonne's Law, I'm going to call it from now on, and I think we're going to talk about this, and I'm going to add it to my list of things that people should think about. [00:22:09] Yvonne's Law is this. When you're photographing a wedding, make sure you cover everything that the people who are attending and the people who might be buying the pictures would wish for. Going for awards is fine. We all do it. We all need to do it. We need to push ourselves and be creative. That is For most of us, why we came into these industries in the first place, we want to do something exciting and different. [00:22:32] We want to do something engaging and moody, and on the whole, those are not the shots that you can sell to the couple. Not always, it's not an entire, there is a Venn diagram with an overlap. You can, of course, sell really dark, moody pictures of the bride to the couple, and that may well happen. But there's a law of averages here and you're being paid by the client to satisfy numerous different angles. [00:22:57] Now, the other thing I don't know about the wedding that was being described is whether the bride and groom had asked specifically for a certain type of image. I have shot a wedding, this is going back a little bit in my career. Where the bride and groom wanted me to, and I kid you not, ignore the mother of the bride. [00:23:16] That was my brief. Do not pay any attention to her. She's gonna ask you to do all of these different shots with different people, but she is not paying. The bride and groom were really very clear about that. The problem is, from a diplomatic point of view, I've got a nightmare because, of course, the mother of the bride is asking me to do things. [00:23:36] And I've been briefed not to, because it'll draw time and they're not shots that the bride and groom, who are my client, are going to buy. So yes, you can end up in that situation. But here's the rub for that particular wedding, is I ended up going back and doing a portrait shoot with the whole family, because the mother of the bride felt she hadn't got the pictures of them as a family that she would wish for. [00:23:56] We ended up dancing through, or jumping through a few hoops, jumping through a few, I can't even say the word, hoop, jumping through a few hoops, hoops to get to the end goal. So Yvonne's Law simply states, remember that you're shooting for a client, you're not just shooting for you. Eventually I'll word it slightly differently as I probably think of 25 iterations of it. [00:24:17] Let's just let these people out here. There you go. You go through there. That's good. Perfectly good. And so it was a really beautiful wedding and throughout the day though I laughed with the two mums about Yvonne's law and made it perfectly clear that I was getting everything they had asked for. The Differences Between Shooting for Awards and Clients [00:24:35] Now there's a slight addendum to this thought process which is well how come what you shoot for a client doesn't necessarily do so well in awards or so well in qualifications. [00:24:49] And the truth of that is that we have to, to a degree, separate out context from the picture. So when we're judging we don't have the context which makes it sometimes a little bit tricky. As wedding photographers we know that shooting on a commissioned wedding is that little bit more complicated which is why in the categories for wedding photography most of them state really clearly Must be linked to the wedding day, must be commissioned. [00:25:16] You can't use models, it can't be you just shooting for fun, because once you eliminate that sense of pressure, the time pressure mostly, but the performance pressure and having to work for a client, everything's much easier. Which is why fashion magazines have these beautiful pictures of models in bridal gowns and actually on a real wedding day. [00:25:37] It's a lot trickier, it's not impossible but it's a lot trickier to get those images. So there's this thing, and I, we all know it the best I've ever heard it was shoot for show, shoot for dough. The difference between shooting for your portfolio, shooting for awards, shooting for qualifications, and shooting for the money, shooting for your client. [00:25:58] They are slightly different things, and one photographer, a really nice photographer called Hoss Madavi, photographer, Put it like this. He said, think about designing for a catwalk. Think about what you would design out there for a catwalk and then think about what you actually end up selling through a high street chain like John Lewis or Marks and Spencer or whatever in the UK or maybe Macy's or someone like that in the States. [00:26:27] Think about the difference between those two. Your haute couture arranges that you're going to produce on the catwalk. By the time they end up being sold to the mass public, not quite the same thing. Nor should they be. They're for different purposes. One is to show the world what you're capable of. One is to show, or it's actually sell to the world. [00:26:46] Not quite the same thing because most people are not going to buy a really funky haute couture dress or outfit off the catwalk in the same way that a lot of our clients won't wish. to buy a moody dark shot that's of the back of the groom's head. There you go. Yvonne's Law is now what we're calling it. [00:27:05] I might have to change it. I feel, I don't, I've never met Yvonne. I'm going to credit her with it because that was the story that was told to me. On that happy note, I am just pulling into a garage because I am absolutely starving. Conclusion and Farewell [00:27:17] I need to get some food and I need to get some food quick before I start getting grumpy. [00:27:22] So I'm going to park up and I'm going to wish you all well for the week. So for this week's podcast, thank you for listening. Of course you can email me.

January 8, 2024: Our Experience of Moving To Costa Rica -- All The Dirt + Details

In this episode, I share my experience of moving to Costa Rica from Canada.   For some this is a much anticipated podcast episode.    I talk about the reason why we moved -- including concerns about Canada's "pandemic" response and governmental control. I talk about the trucker / freedom rally and how it influenced our decision.   In a way we never saw coming.   I cover how and why we chose Costa Rica and the area we are in - including our many challenges along the way.   Also, the residency and visa process, access to healthcare, nutritious food and availability of organic and sustainable food. I talk about access to amenitities, beach vs mountain towns, power and internet outages and dealing with the climate of Costa Rica.    I share my thoughts on letting go and adjusting expectations, safety and security, language and currency, and the benefits of trading and bartering. I also emphasize the importance of being part of the community and expressing gratitude for the opportunities and abundance in Costa Rica.   I also share our future plans and where we are all at currently .... 1.5 years in.    Additional Takeaways: Living in expat areas in Costa Rica provides access to a range of services and amenities, including schools, restaurants, gyms, and holistic services. Choosing between living in beach towns and mountain towns depends on personal preferences, with beach towns offering a more relaxed lifestyle and mountain towns providing cooler temperatures. The hot and humid climate in Costa Rica can lead to mold issues, making air conditioning and dehumidification necessary for a comfortable living environment. Power outages and internet issues are common in Costa Rica, but uninterrupted power supplies and fast internet connections are available. Adapting to the Costa Rican lifestyle requires letting go of expectations and embracing the slower pace of life and the connection to nature.  Pura Vida is aptly named for life in Costa Rica! Respecting the local community and being mindful of the impact of expat presence on the cost of living and local resources is important. Language and currency considerations include the prevalence of English-speaking locals and the need for cash transactions. Trading and bartering are common practices in Costa Rica, allowing for the exchange of goods and services. Being part of the community and giving back contribute to a more fulfilling expat experience. Transition and integration take time, and it is important to be patient and open to the changes and growth that come with living in a new country. Expressing gratitude for the opportunities and abundance in Costa Rica enhances the expat experience. Future plans in Costa Rica may be uncertain, but being present and following one's heart's calling is essential. Chapters 00:00. Introduction and Background 02:11.

Hey there, it's Matthew Adams, bringing you into Advent Day 11 of our spiritual exploration. Today, we're diving into a passage from Isaiah that's all about preparation, transformation, and revelation. It's a call to spiritual warriors to not just listen for God's voice but to actively prepare for His work in our lives and the world.Scripture: Isaiah 40:3-5"A voice of one calling: In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together." This powerful imagery from Isaiah 40:3-5 speaks volumes about the transformative power of God's presence.This scripture isn't just poetry; it's a blueprint for spiritual warriors. It talks about making a path for God in the most unlikely places – the wilderness and the desert. It's about leveling the playing fields of our lives, smoothing out the rough patches, and being part of a grand revelation of God's glory.My Reasons To Believe is a publication fueled by its readers' support. We're committed to serving you. Think about stepping up to Faith Partner. For a mere $5 a month, you can play a crucial role in keeping this ministry thriving. Stay blessed.Three Driving Points* Preparing the Way in Our Lives: The call to prepare the way for the Lord starts within us. It's about examining our hearts and lives, identifying the 'wilderness' areas that need God's touch. This preparation involves repentance, realignment of our priorities, and a commitment to making room for God's work in and through us.* Leveling Life's Mountains and Valleys: The imagery of leveling mountains and raising valleys speaks to addressing the highs and lows in our spiritual journey. It's about humility in success (lowering the mountains) and hope in despair (raising the valleys). As spiritual warriors, our task is to maintain balance, keeping our focus on God regardless of life's ups and downs.* Being Part of the Revelation of God's Glory: The ultimate goal of this preparation is the revelation of God's glory. This isn't just a personal experience; it's communal – "all people will see it together." We're called to not only experience God's glory but to be conduits of that glory to the world.ConclusionIsaiah 40:3-5 is more than an Advent scripture; it's a year-round call to action for spiritual warriors. It's about making active preparations for God's work, maintaining balance in our spiritual lives, and being part of revealing God's glory to the world.Call to ActionThis week, take some time to identify areas in your life that need preparation for God's work. Make a commitment to smooth out a 'rough patch,' whether it's mending a strained relationship, addressing a personal struggle, or engaging more deeply in your community.PrayerLord, help us to prepare the way for You in our hearts and lives. Give us the wisdom to level our mountains and raise our valleys, making a straight path for Your work. May we be instruments in revealing Your glory. Amen.As we continue our journey, let's keep Isaiah's words close to our hearts. Remember, in every wilderness, there's a path waiting to be cleared for the Lord. May your efforts in preparing the way be fruitful and fulfilling. Keep on smoothing those paths, fellow spiritual warriors! Get full access to My Reasons To Believe at myr2b.substack.com/subscribe

One of the most challenging aspects of our work is holding our people accountable. I've yet to meet a leader who doesn't wish that they didn't have to and that team members would do it for themselves. But we all know that's not how it works! Holding team members accountable can feel like a parent scolding or punishing the child, and no one enjoys that, mainly when dealing with a peer. Is there a way to effectively hold team members accountable without it turning into a dysfunctional parent-child scenario? The "Great Resignation," "Quiet Quitting," and “Remote Working” have all made accountability more critical than ever. How can we hold leaders accountable with compassion?  Well, the answer is something that our next guest has been dedicated to not only discovering but implementing. Our guest for the next two episodes is Dr. Nate Regier. Nate and his team at Next Element have pioneered the Compassionate Accountability framework, ushering in a new paradigm of leadership that helps organizations thrive in complex and challenging environments.
