Recently, I’ve been starting to shoot some video to go with my photography.
This is one of the first videos I shot in 1080p, and downsampled to 720p (both are HD resolutions).
For best effect, you either want to click through to vimeo, or click the “fullscreen” button in the player.

K-Love is a christian radio station that I listen to a fair amount, and have started supporting in the six months or so.
I just want to commend them - they called me out of the blue, to ask if I had any prayer requests.
How awesome is that?

People aren’t confused by the gospel, they’re confused by us.
Jesus is the only way to God, but we are NOT the only way to Jesus.
This world doesn’t need my tie, my hoodie my denomination or my translation of the bible.
They just need Jesus.
We can be passionate about what we believe, but we can’t strap ourselves to the gospel.
‘Cuz we’re slowing it down.
Jesus is going to save the world.
But maybe the best thing we can do…
… is just to get out of the way.

As part of my therapy sessions, we’ve been discussing emotional needs.
One of the statements made, is that in order to have a relationship between two people, you have to really understand and buy into the following three statements about emotional needs:
By “understand” I don’t just mean that you have to read them and agree to it on some superficial level - you have to really believe it. In your heart, not just your head.
From this list:
… it appears that my top three emotional needs are respect, acceptance and understanding.
What are yours?

Something that’s been on my mind a lot the last few months, is the concept of being authentic.
One of my struggles has always been the struggle between fully being myself, and being some slightly tempered-down version of me that is more palatable to people around me. (for any definition of “palatable”)
Especially in the workplace, where many people have expectations around you. Image, behavior, often opinions - you name it. We’re constantly pigeon-holed, whether we want it or not.
I don’t think it’s good to deny yourself, however little - so one of my nearer-term goals is to be more authentic.
Be more Dominic.
…
The world will surely quake.

I went out to do some more live music show shooting Tuesday last.
Here’s a video I shot:
The Sweetest Thing from Dominic Eidson.
The photos are still to come….
