A Video Visit to New York City

I recently enjoyed a trip to the National Speakers Association Convention in New York City. During some free time, I took a good number of pictures of the Times Square area. Some of those shots make up the video essay you'll see below. I was amused by a challenge I experienced doing night photography: With all the lights, it really doesn't get all that dark. So certain night shots just can't be captured like they would elsewhere. But at the same time, the illuminated conditions do make it easier to capture action in both the foreground and the background.

The Power of Engagement

Recently I attended a presentation by a well known speaker. While the speaker's professional expertise was high, I felt that they were not as skilled at conveying a message that would inspire the crowd to action. That led me to create the video clip below that's about ways to better create that connection with your crowd.
