Dreaming. Creating. Never quitting. Doing, doing and doing the right thing with no attachment to an outcome. Day after day. Unwavering commitment to quality. That’s what many small businesses are about. Like mine (escardaphoto.com) and like the people at the #Fiddlershop. Fedex Small Business Grant Contest Award Winners 2018.

Technology a Threat To Professional Photographers?

Posted on eileenLeave a commentPosted in Advertising, Assignment Work, Behind the Scenes, Conceptual, Hospitality, Inspiration, Interiors, Lifestyle, Personal, Travel

I keep reading about how technologies like mirrorless cameras and phones will change the landscape or even eliminate the role of many in creative fields like photography. They say anyone can take high quality photos with these new devices…I say BALONEY! Because it always has been, and always will be, about how one sees. It’s about intentions and goals and connecting with target audiences in a way that is meaningful. In ways that help people in some way…to live, play and engage. The following are some Iphone pics of a night out at #losaltosspeakeasy @billfuller @zackbush ENJOY! Maybe check the place out… Have lots of fun, drink, share and be merry! Toast to talent and #vivacreatives!

Tapas and Wine On a Rainy Night in Logrono, Spain

As a creative it is so important to explore and play away from work. That’s why I found myself recharging my creative batteries with tapas and wine on a rainy night in Logrono, Spain. I loved being here. Roaming the narrow streets of Logrono, Spain under the drizzle of a cool rain. Ducking into one of many bars and restaurants for tapas/pintxos and a glass of wine. The energy of people crowded together, sharing, laughing and telling stories was amazing! It was one of those times in my life that I relished being alive for one more day. Can’t blame it all on the wine either. The food was great and the people were super warm and friendly, full of laughter and #joiedevive! Found myself saying, ‘Thank you, God!” and “Next”…..The following are pics from this day. Vale!

 

Happy New Year!

My family and I visited the Miccosukee Tribe Festival over the holidays. It was an awesome cultural celebration. The dancers, dressed in elaborate tribal costumes, were amazing! As were the stories of their past, present and future. Stories about physical and spiritual strength, values and wisdom. It’s hard to deny that all that comes before us remains a part of us in some way. So I’m wishing everyone manyblessings in the new year! Especially, the blessing of knowing what from the past is worth expanding on and what is best left to shrink into the past. May creativity (God) and the greater good inform you and be your guide. Happy New Year All! #2019.culturalheritage,holidays,lifestylephotography,letgo,  miccosukkee, nativeamericans, guides

Sharing Is Caring

As a photographer not a week goes by without friends, family and/or clients asking, ‘Can you photograph my kids, my family, my dog, so and so’s wedding?’, etc. Lol! I often want to say, ‘Yes!’, but I can’t! I am one person focusing on commercial photography and raising children. It seems my hours and minutes are always accounted for. Yet, when I do this kind of work, I love it!  These photos were part of an auction for my girls school. A worthy cause. The Wallace family purchased my photo package, an afternoon with me and a photo book. Here are some of my favorite pages. Feels good to be reminded of why I am a photographer. To connect, share, and hopefully, inspire others to look within and to experience life authentically. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR.

Love Thy Neighbor
