The Real Advantage

( )

I often feel uncomfortable making decisions or providing guidance to my clients unless I’ve had time to think. When I’m rushed I feel stressed. Sometimes all I need is a few hours. Sometimes days. Other time weeks.

Thinking time is non-linear. The time you spend thinking – walking around a problem in a three-dimensional way and exploring all of the various perspectives and mental models – pays you back tenfold in the end. The problem for those who are shortsighted is that this time will appear as a negative for a while because it looks like nothing is getting done. This situation is a great example of what I call first-order negative, second-order positive.

Trey Ratfliff Photowalk in New York City

You may have heard of Trey Ratcliff. After a slow start, his Stuck in Customs blog grew in popularity as did his HDR techniques and vivid style of landscape photography. He's now one of the most popular and influential photographers on the web. Alistair Arthur

Three years ago I attended one of Trey's photowalks. The New York City event was organized with the help of Scott Wyden and B& H. The turnout was impressive. It was the spectacle as hundreds of photographers walked down Broadway toward Bowling Green. At one point we chased away by New York City police who thought we were part of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

After the photo-walk, I had the opportunity to have dinner with Trey and a select few of the photographers. He's doing it again, in New York City, this Thursday 6 August from 5 pm , with the walk starting at 7 pm. It's sure to be fun. Being around Trey is magical.
