Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.

If I lived in Chicago I’d barely ever use my car. The public transportation system there is amazing…well amazing for the US. European transportation is on another level.

What I’m wondering is if I can go without a car here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My friend Whitney did a pretty good job of it last year, but she got very lucky and had a stop outside her apt and she went to school downtown. I just moved to a place where the closest bus stop is a bike ride away and I’m still looking for the closest bus stop by my work.

The best part is an unlimited bus pass is just over $30.00 a month.

It would definitely change the way I live though. I need to research this more and possibly try and take the bus to work, etc a couple times to see how feasible it really is. Unfortunately I think unless I lived downtown/worked downtown, the bus may be a little bit out of reach.

I’ve been renting/buying equipment for a wedding I’m shooting this weekend. The couple I’m shooting this weekend is all about being creative and having fun photos so I rented the Nikon 10.5mm fisheye for a couples weeks. I got it from Rentglass.com.
