классное видео, но много болтовни, лучше бы музыку поставил!

[DotroxJ]

Это действительно снято на Nikon D300s?

[macwise7]

@DotroxJ Да. D300s и Nikon 85mm PC объектива. Это отличный маленький фотоаппарат!

(Yes. D300s and Nikon 85mm PC lens. It's a great little camera!)

Oh I really hope that more people see this. I love how you incorporated your passion into the video in such a meaningful way, unlike a lot of other people entering this contest. I can completely identify with this and I sincerely hope that you catch up! Good luck, you definitely deserve this.

[macwise7]

Thanks, merrymaddie. I really appreciate your support. I looked at your profile - looks like we are doing a lot of the same things, ie: photo, web, video, design, etc.

I'm glad the video connected with you. Stay tuned - I have some cool stuff in the works related to vision, which I'll be uploading over the next few weeks!

[macwise7]

Vision is that which is most important to yourself, and often looks unimportant or uninspiring to those around us. If we measure our personal vision against that of others, we'll likely become discouraged, or discourage others.

As we all seek joy in this life (and since true joy comes from selfless giving) I think it best to encourage and inspire others openly, and work to eradicate the destructive character traits quietly.

Good luck achieving your vision! I sincerely hope you reach it.

[ironside222]

my vision is filming.

[macwise7]

What kind of filming are you interested in, ironside? What have you seen that inspires you?

Character building I love it! Thanks for the good reminder.

[nelliliciousluv]

My goal or vision is to be able to have my own home to open up to others. A place for random people to study or have book reading clubs. I know it's simple but thats me.

[macwise7]

I believe it's people like you who are changing this world for the better by building, giving, and producing, rather than destroying, taking, and consuming. Thank you for sharing your vision. Let me know how it goes!

[macwise7]

Thank you.

[megetranceaddict]

You got my vote! What is my vision, well I know what I am passionate about and I know I have big dreams!

[macwise7]

That's where it starts. Finding your vision may be simple, but for me it was a challenging endeavor. In two years I've just begun to figure it out more fully. Good luck with your dreams and in building your vision!

[kikaandsam1]

My mom is my vision and my familey i vote

[macwise7]

The most important of all.

[vancityvandals]

hey im giving you a vote. and a story. once upon a time about three weeks ago. their was a boy and his art that he loved. he had heard of emily carr portfolio day and got totally stoked. the boy and his friend decided to go to the emily car day and wait in a four hour line up. when he had finally got to the front the guy reveing my art just flicked threw my book not even looking just talk. this killed me. because in that short time that teacher killed my vision.

[macwise7]

vancityvandals -

Thanks for sharing. My response is this: don't take it personally. In fact, any time someone treats your vision with disrespect, you have one of two choices. Give up, or give more. If it's really your true vision, then giving up will not bring happiness in the long run, especially when it's to spite or please the person who dampened your enthusiasm. Stay focused on your vision!

A comment

[CLmonkeymoo]

wow. this was really good. probably the best, but the youtube stars just have too many people committed to them.:(

[macwise7]

Thank you CLmonkeymoo. You may very well be correct about the contest. I met some cool people, & had a great time making new footage. Some have thanked me for the encouragement to follow their vision, and still others have told me they are actually doing something about it.

Even if I don't win, I won't feel like I have lost. I used this contest as motivation to do something I've wanted to do for some time. This has been a great experience for me, and the message won't stop here.

[DVFDrinkOrDie]

I do realize by commenting, I just gave you a vote. However, not a chance you'll get it. Tessa (Meekakitty) has got this contest hands down. Over 100,800 comments so far! She's got my vote every day until this thing is over.

[macwise7]

Thank you for your vote!

[hobofan]

best video i've seen for this contest, bad thing you don't stand a chance against all the youtube stars :-(

[macwise7]

Thanks for your positive feedback hobofan.

I'm not afraid to fail. It will teach me what to do better next time. Besides, this contest is strictly a popularity contest. If i've helped even a few people find the path to discovering their vision, I feel like I've already won. :)

[ch00b7]

Very cool video.

but you don't stand a chance against mekakitty.

[macwise7]

Thank you, ch00b7.

As for my chances to win this contest: reason says you're right. However, I would like to point out that if I used your reasoning to stop me from ever trying, I'd go nowhere. I'm inclined to believe that success is found as a triumph over failures, rather than finding the perfect path that avoids them.

[ch00b7]

I agree with you fully with you on that.

Don't let anything stop you.

Oh and BTW.

The only reason why meekakitty is winning is because she gets advertised by RWJ.

[macwise7]

Thanks again, ch00b7. You too, on not letting anything stop you.

That's interesting about MK and RWJ. Looks like being connected is paying off for her!

[Amaryllius]

Very inspiring video. Beautiful work :)

[macwise7]

Amaryllius, thanks for commenting, and for your kindness.

I'll give u a vote for the sincere effort, but... ever heard of the KISS method? o.o Talk about a lot of words, little to show for, and WRONG AUDIENCE.

The audience on youtube are the not same in galleries. You can't sell them the same way. :/

[macwise7]

I appreciate your alternative view. I am discovering how to communicate through a new medium. Your feedback will be helpful as I continue to improve.

Hey, you got my vote. Good luck - your an amazing photographer.

Thanks, PadawanAmi. And thanks for the vote!

[PadawanAmi]

Sorry, I meant "you're" ... don't know what happened there. The comments must be up to par to match your quality video! It's just my hobby, but I hope my photography can be as good as yours some day. I have a Nikon and <3 it You capture emotion really well your photos by the way; that's what stands out for me.

[2VeryCarrie]

Wow, what a great speech and video! Good luck on finding your vision and going for it. Personally I fell like I'm at a crossroads with University and College options, ect, so I could sort of relate.

[macwise7]

I know what you mean. Keep searching and asking. And most of all, trust the voice inside you. It will guide you places others would mock you for going, but sometimes that's exactly where you need to go.

[tkmslee]

Did you use local talent?

[macwise7]

Yes.
