After taking pictures in Ireland, Scotland, and England, it was difficult for me to find some inspiration again around Buffalo. I had been seeing these cool pier photos on social media and I knew I wanted to get one but I wasn’t sure where. Then I came across @iamclaydavies profile and saw he got a shot here a while back. So I waited for a decently clear day and came down and took a 64 second exposure shot. The light kept changing but I got it right as this golden light hit the side of the bridge.

Who else hasn’t seen a show ever at @sheasbflo yet but SERIOUSLY wants too? I really want to. Even if it’s just once. The summer is coming so who knows? ________________________________ #OneBuffalo #myhome #Buffalophotos #WeAreBuffalo #BlackandWhite #BuffaloNY #Buffalove #QueenCity #CityofBuffalo #WesternNewYork #cityofgoodneighbors #716inBnW #716blackandwhite #716 #mycity #LetsGoBuffalo #BuffaloPlace #hashtagstepoutbuffalo #sheaperformingartscenter #DowntownBuffalo

I’m going to let you in on a little secret…the secret to lasting success in business. It’s simple, but it’s powerful: stop competing with other people. As long as you are viewing other people in your industry as “the competition,” you are energetically holding yourself back from reaching your highest potential. Instead of competing, C R E A T E. Because here’s the reality: there is no one else who sees the world in the exact same way that you do. No one else can do exactly what you do, and there’s no shortage of people who want to work with you. <— THAT’S what’s real. Competition is only a real thing if YOU make it real. • Share your knowledge. Have an open heart, be an open book; be willing to serve. Build community. When you encourage and inspire people to reach their full potential, the energy that creates ripples out throughout the entire universe, and everyone benefits from it. • How can I encourage you tonight, friends? What are you currently struggling with in your business? Where do you feel stuck? Even if you don’t feel like sharing, just know that I’m here if you need me. ❤

It’s becoming increasingly harder to photograph the churches on the East Side as memories of historic pasts still linger inside. But, the potential for what they can bring to the neighborhoods in the future that house them is motivation enough to start the conversation for preservation and adaptive reuse even if it is just through these cheezy pics. #dontrepeathistory . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #church #explorebuffalo #buffalony #buffaloeastside #wny #urbex #rafterporn #rafter #hashtagstepoutbuffalo #explore #woodwork #revitalize #preservation #takemetochurch #hailholyqueen #sisteract3 #igersbuffalo #architecture #community
