Simple

Today was a perfect day to sit on the back porch in the afternoon sun and let it melt away the last few bits of frost stuck in my bones and think.  Sitting in the sun and thinking is a dangerous thing when you own a working horse ranch, photography studio, are raising a young family while being deeply religious and politically active all in an election year, that just happens to be the Chinese year of the horse. Hello I need to raise the next world champion, grace the cover of "Bride" magazine and National Geographic, while bringing the world peace after getting elected as President. Fortunately at this moment of great thinking overload, in to much sun, my faithful Golden Retriever brought me a sock that had been buried under the snow for the last four months. As I thanked her for the gift I remembered what makes a great picture is usually a simple image free of distraction that allows you to focus on the subject. It is after all by small and simple things that great things are brought to pass.  So now we will master small things to get the hard big things accomplished.
