Thank you all for coming by my page and seeing what DC 2 Photography is about. The name DC 2 Photography came from my initials. I am located in northern California, Eureka to be exact. It is a wonderful place to be especially if you enjoy doing nature like photography. There is so much beauty and chances to take new pictures in the surrounding natural landscapes as well as being able to explore in

to some of the less traveled areas where the less fortunate reside. The area I visit regularly is filled with graffiti creating a very urban effect to some of my photography. Having an environment as such providing such an array of photographic options is a blessing. My work space is wherever I go to take pictures which make things nice since I am not always stuck at a desk all day. That is unless I am going through photos and editing them for whatever reason. When I am at my desk though it is nice since I got music to listen to as I work on making my photos even more eye catching then my camera already has. I just recently (end of 2011) purchased a new camera with a couple lenses. The Canon T2i Rebel is an awesome camera with so much potential. The shots are clear as day and it gets colors you don’t even see sometimes. Working with Photoshop on my computer makes photography a lot more fun as well. Being able to adjust colors and manipulate photos using Photoshop allows photographers like me endless options and worlds of creativity to play with. I didn't really get into being behind the camera until the last couple of years despite always being an artist. I love to draw and color with as many mediums as I can. Color pencils, charcoal, pastels, learning paint and want to expand as much as I can with my creativity. A lot of my inspiration comes from family and friends who have watched me progress forward with my art skills and ability. They always encourage me to pursue a living in the art world. So here I am turning my hobby and passion into a business which I hope brings a smile to your face.

This message starts with self realization and stretches out beyond one persons reach. You can't preach acceptance and then not br willing to accept the views of those who you were just preaching too!

“Compromise and collaboration bring harmony.”

When harmony is in your life and relationships, peace and serenity are at your fingertips. All your senses are alive. Your visions are clearer, and you can see more, feel more and hear more. But, harmony has one enemy – conflict. When conflict arises and threatens to displace harmony, the best thing to do is face it head on. Don’t ignore it. When you do, you allow it to fester. Instead, recognize that those with differing views are not out to get you, but merely approaching things from a different point of view. Seek to find points of agreement and work together to build compromise. As you focus on compromise and collaboration, harmony will be restored.

Today’s Affirmation: I face conflict with compromise and collaboration.

“Commitment is a decision.”

Commitment is not just a simple act of wishing for something. Commitment is a decision to do whatever it takes. You may wish to be in awesome shape. But, you won’t succeed until you decide to put down the chocolates, get off the couch, and start exercising, regularly! Yes, this is hard to hear, but that’s what commitment is all about – deciding to put in the sweat and effort and sacrifice, to achieve the goals you hold dear. The sweat and effort may come from your head, as in commitment to your workplace or achieving your goals. It may come from your heart, as in commitment to a relationship or your children. But, wherever it comes from, it requires a decision not only to start, but persevere. Remember, the rewards you seek are priceless, and worth every moment of dedicated effort.

Today’s Affirmation: I am truly committed to achieving my goals.

“Preserve your confidence.”

When you use others as your measuring stick, you usually come up short. You convince yourself you’re not as clever, beautiful, thin or talented. Lasting satisfaction and confidence comes from appreciating yourself with all that you have to offer. Equating yourself with others eats away at your confidence and leaves you feeling inferior. Remind yourself of these simple truths. You are a unique and special person, exactly as you are. You’re one-of-a-kind and you’re irreplaceable. With convictions such as these, you confidence is impermeable, just as it should be.

Today’s Affirmation: I am confident in my own worth as a person.

“There will be times when all seems lost.”

At one time or another it’s likely you will feel that your life has hit a brick wall. You may feel there are no solutions to your problems and your life will never change for the better. This time may even be now. During such times, you must look back and remember the past obstacles you faced and conquered. Remind yourself of how you confronted and overcame them. Those challenges seemed as difficult as the ones you may be facing now. Use your memories to reassure yourself that things will change, that you will get through these hopeless feelings. You did it before and you’ll do it, again! Success is just around the corner.

Today’s Affirmation: I have faced and conquered obstacles and I am doing it again.

Was having trouble finding sleep tonight so I hit downtown in the twilight hours. I like that the girls TS afforded me the opportunity to appreciate the new structures just finished as well as the old architecture preserved with out the hustle & bustle of the daytime or night life crowds. Oh....and Heavenly Donuts! 😁

Probably not the foundation this passage is referencing, but it's funny so there's my first brink down.

“Build a mutual foundation and search for agreement.”

Whether you are just making small talk with someone or conducting an important meeting, it is the search for agreement that moves the relationship ahead. All small talk is search for agreement. “Isn’t the weather wonderful today?” is one way that we search in everyday conversation. Agreement gives you momentum, just as disagreement slows you down. Before you sit down to talk with a loved one, colleague or even your child, plan in advance what you and the other person are most likely to agree on and bring those things up first. Build a foundation of mutual agreement and go up from there. It is what skilled negotiators do all the time, and, so should you, to make strong relationships and get what you need.

Today’s Affirmation: The foundations of my conversations are built on agreement.

What you think and say determines your personal power.”

Do you frequently hear yourself saying things like, “I can’t do that,” “It’s beyond me,” or, “I am not the person for this task?” If you express negativity often enough, your mind will believe it as truth. It becomes a self -fulfilling prophecy and the longer it goes on the more you will be driven by false beliefs. You’ll be left feeling powerless and out of control. Stop this vicious cycle! Take notice of your inner chatter and vow to transform the “can’ts” into “cans.” Your internal voice must support you and give you reason to believe in yourself. It must foster respect and drive your potential. You are a capable person, capable of endless possibilities. Harness your negative thoughts today and make the transformation that destines you to greatness.

Today’s Affirmation: My internal voice gives me reason to believe in myself.

You can be your worst enemy or your greatest ally! The choice is yours!

“Thoughts, beliefs, and self-talk.”

Can you believe that as many as 90,000 thoughts a day pass through our brains! Most of those thoughts are the same ones, over and over. The trouble is, that if the majority of our thoughts are negative, repetition will make them seem like truth. The good news is that since we have the ability to program ourselves to believe negative things about ourselves, we also have the ability to program ourselves to believe in positive things. As you go through your day, focus on the chatter going on inside your head. If you don’t like what you’re hearing, then stop, and consciously choose a brighter thought. As you become aware of your thoughts, it will become easier to program yourself to think in positive ways that serve you better!

Today’s Affirmation: I have replaced my negative self-talk with positive self-talk.

“You’re as great as your thoughts.”

Imagine your ideal self – a person filled with health, happiness and prosperity. Imagine living the life of your dreams. This life is not as distant or unreachable as it may seem. You are a reflection of your thoughts. If you think you can do great things, you will. If you think you can’t, you won’t. For change to happen you need to enlarge your thoughts. You need to hold a vision of yourself that will carry you through adversity and give you the strength to climb mountains. So, hold your ideal self in your thoughts. Stay true to it. You will become as great as what you hold in your mind.

Today’s Affirmation: I envision my ideal self in my thoughts.
