Daily affirmations... Write your own book of Daily Affirmations because you deserve it!
Search for them online, find them in books you read, hear them being spoken, or write your own! And remember to record all of them in a journal which you can refer to over and over as you and life travel together.
The positive quotations for improvement in your life are your keys to success; make sure to keep this book of gold nuggets near you at all times because you can use it when you are happy, sad, depressed, panicked, joyful, melancholy, victorious, - you name it! The book you write will ALWAYS do you good.
Keep one book to write all your notes, whatever they may be, and another at home which to transfer the bits and pieces that 'make the grade' .. Dog-ear those make-the-grade pages so when you need a quick pick-me-up you can find one quickly .. Additionally, a few of the real good ones from the transfer journal retyped and lodged into the pages of your traveling journal is a great help when you are out in the world away from your meditative haven of home (or office).
Personal Tip: I tried to write in a blackberry (well it was actually the AT&T version) but I found it was hard to data manage and the whole process seemed a little cold to me. I'm an old-school handwriting junkie anyway..
Good Luck and Enjoy!

Professional Thoughts for Better Photography
Nikon, RAW file format v. JPG:
I shoot with a Nikon D2H. Soon I will purchase the D2Xs, strictly for the megapixel jump from 4.3 to about 12... Big difference. The D2H has its advantages so I plan to keep it as a backup and also for the times I want to shoot fast subjects in bright light - these are the only two real reasons I can come up with to keep it, otherwise into Ebay I would roam. I admit, I was sucked into the RAW file format for/from Nikon. Admittingly, it is a great mode to shoot in for commercial projects that move quickly - the editing is sometimes your only savior. Portraits, architectural, still lifes, you get the idea can and should all be shot in either .TIF or .jpg depending on the desired output. Read this white paper which convinced me : JPG vs Raw: Get it Right the First Time if you have any doubt!
How to take better photographs:
I am a firm believer in "Get it right in the camera." Truely this skill seperates the amateurs from the professionals.
[ Check out this 'self-portrait' I achieved in camera while standing in from of the Detroit skyline from the Canadian side (maybe you've seen it): Robin Ann Peters in Canada with Detroit skyline in background. (I will post how I achieved this photograph in another blog entry.) ]
Recently, I read a great quote saying (I'll paraphrase here), "If it's not worth painting a picture of what you are photographing, don't shoot it."
The two of these quotes, and you can quote me on them, have inspired a new level to my photography: and I have actually put my camera down for quite a while while I have been meditating over them. I miss shooting but nonetheless am refinding and refining a new ground in which to tread.
I am looking forward to where it all bring me, or should I say where I bring myself.
