There are many talented photographers out there - and it's easier to discover talent thanks to the internet.

This past Wednesday, I was conducting one of my Tough Love portfolio review sessions with photographer John Harvey. John is a good photographer. He just needed some reinforcement . . . . and long with some needed business advice, which I provided.

His shot here is one of my favorites.

I wanted to capture the peace and calm of the morning. Sunrises are a special time for me, the few minutes before your day turns hectic, when all is right in the world.
