“I’m afraid that after I post this blog post people will look at me differently.” – Josh

You’re right we do, and it’s a good thing…we look at you and say THANK YOU because you’ve challenged all of us who have read this to do the same. Thank you.

What an honest, heart-felt post this is! Thank you so much for taking this risk and helping the rest of us who are risk-averse realize that it’s OK to take risks.

You said “I’m afraid that after I post this blog post people will look at me differently.” And they probably will. I don’t really know you (I have a photog friend who does) but my impression of you has changed – FOR THE BETTER. Your honest introspection, your analysis of how you fit into your world, your desire for your life, the things you want to give back to the people you meet, what you want for your children … all of those ideas are beautiful things to share. So beautiful, and yet we don’t talk about them enough… thank you for having the courage to ‘be deep.’

Lots of people – well, *I* have a lot of the same fears, and talking about fear is SO uncomfortable. But addressing fear – even if we just learn to ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’ – is how I’ve started to grow in my career, in my relationships.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and your journey.

the more i read and learn about this human condition the more I see how close we are. I love the internet/fb/twitter for this reason. Winter’s corresponding emotion is fear…so it is no wonder it’s been coming up for so many of us. You are real and alive and you feel… thank you for sharing from your heart! I blogged on fear last week, put all my nubby raw bits out for public consumption. Your post connects and resonates. thank you dear one.

that’s awesome man. it’s refreshing to hear people actually open up a bit. the internet isn’t great at getting people to truly do that… and i feel a lot of these same things.
I imagine people will look at you differently after this post…. that isn’t always a bad thing.

fear is the opposite of faith. faith erases fear, and fear erodes faith.

Hi Josh and Jenny!

You’re photos are so amazing! They inspire me so much, and I love the way you capture real life =]

I take some pictures myself but am mostly scared of using a flash because I just don’t know how. Do you have any tips? I hate the hard shadows that they cast. What can I do to lessen those shadows?

Thank you for taking the time to read this! Keep up the awesome work!
