The pictures below remind me of an interesting time period in my life - college. Recently, I skipped my every two week routine of cutting my own hair to visit an old barber friend that I have known since 1997. The experience really brought back some good and bad memories. If you know anything about a barbershop or a hair salon then you know that when it comes to conversation - anything goes. Lauren (our intern) came along with me for the ride because I promised that I was going to give her a true experience this summer not just editing and shooting in the office. To date, her internship has been like a reality show starring (drum roll please) Ross Oscar Knight. I'm sure she will write a tell all book one day and shame me for good. So will Anna Beth. Anyways, back to the barbershop. While sitting in the chair I was contemplating personal responsibility. If you read my post,
30 Things About Me, back in April then you know that I cut hair in the bathroom dorms to get through school. Once I lost my scholarship from NASA at Georgia Tech, taking control of my life and academic survival became a very serious obligation.



I've been part of a few leadership programs in the past and I have also held my fair share of leadership positions. So when I was first contacted through Facebook by Erin Anthony (
The Anthony Group) about her upcoming book (Leadership Rockstars), it was my thought that she would interview me about my photography business. What I didn't know was that she had quite a different spin on the subject of leadership. Erin and her husband are active in educational consulting and she wanted to speak with me about how my former collegiate leadership roles have contributed to my success today. During
the interview we spoke candidly about the attributes and challenges of a leader and how college students should prepare for their future. One story that I related to Erin was about the barbershop and cutting hair in those smelly dormitory bathrooms to make enough money for food, gas, books, and tuition. Yesterday as I was browsing the web I noticed that Erin did a post about
our interview and I am so humbled by her comments.
The PURPOSE of my company is to
Build Community Through Photography. The VISION of my company is ".
..the key is to love what you see."
I decided to contribute my story to the Anthony Leadership Book because Adrian and Erin are a wonderful
couple with a
dynamic vision. I feel they are Building Community and I also Love What I See as I have learned more about them through the web. Check out their site some time and be inspired!
Blog you later...
