I’ve been accused by friends and family alike that I “butt dial”. This means that when my mobile phone is in my pockets and gets sat on, it dials whatever lucky soul I last talked to . My father has mentioned he heard me drive down the road with music in the background. Wonder if he picked up on the road rage? Imagine my surprise when I came across an advertisement by T-Mobile recently:
I’d love to hear more from everyone because blogs are conversational, right?
I enjoy reading email, IM chats and tweets and this past week has seen a lot of feedback regarding various topics. I’m opening the floor to you to suggest local issues, arts/entertainment updates and whatever else strikes your fancy.
An upcoming event
What’s happenin? Send me a blurb and we’ll promote it to the hundreds, soon to be thousands of readers.
Got a project?
I love hearing what people are working on. It is inspiring and makes me smarter. Give me some info and I may follow up with a Q&A session for promotional purposes.
Meetups
Flashmobs?
Tweetups? User groups? Photowalks? I want it and so do a lot of other people. Meetups are more fun with more people!
New art series
You have the talent and I have the means of showcasing it
I do have standards of course so not all submissions will be posted. Also keep in mind that this is a one man show here and posts will be updated as time allows. having said this, your participation is crucial so send in your submissions mojodenbow [at] gmail dot com.
As a demonstration of what this looks like, here is what is coming soon courtesy of two very good friends of mine. Their photography inspires me and makes me want to be better. The two Tracys, Three Heart Photo and Funny Girl Photography each have their own art show coming soon so check them out, buy some art and make some new friends at the Coffee Groundz.

What are you thinking about lately that will affect you in the next three years? What ideas will define you? The next question is to ask, what are we doing with our ideas to make them into reality? Ideas are just fine in themselves but also useless without action. I recently stumbled across this article about ideas and execution and this is what prompted my question.
“An idea is no more useful than a coupon for a bag of sugar; show me the finished cake, then we’ll talk.” – Merlin Mann
So go ahead and launch that project, or deliver your product to the client or just do something about your ideas to make them happen.

Photo Mojo is running a special on couple’s portraits starting now through February 28th. Your significant other will appreciate this and add to your memories together.
Reserve your session time at Photo Mojo but please hurry because February is a shorter month!
Last week I had the opportunity to document the people of the Dominican Republic. I spent a lot of time in Santiago and Sosua. A full write up is forthcoming of everything I saw and did while visiting.
I’m flying off to the Dominican Republic today and won’t be back until Friday night. Look for heaps of images from all over the island. I want to get a lot of portraits, landscapes and macros of bugs flying into my rum punch.
I’ll be blogging sporadically but uploading photos almost daily. Tweets will be scattered as well.
Saturday was Houston’s inaugural unconference regarding photography and i think it was very well received. Without looking at our final numbers, I would suggest there were 150 people present that were passionate about their craft. The fact we could listen and share ideas in a relaxed setting is amazing. This could not have been possible without my PhotoCamp Counselors Tracy, Imelda, Christine, Tracy, Jessica, Katie & the snappy campers.
The crowd was able to wake up and enjoy PhotoCamp because JR contributed java and bagels from the Coffee Groundz.
Mega-gracias to Marc at the Houston Technology Center for the venue and support.
Thank you to Ed Schipul of Schipul Marketing Strategies for your publicity and funding
Kudos to Matthew Westergreen of the Caroline Collective for hosting the happy hour which was waaaay happier because of …
Lennie and the entire gang at Saint Arnold’s Brewery who donated the variety of beer. Free. Beer. Unheard of! How cool is that?
We are doing this again soon, so stay tuned to our wiki and check out these images and more on our Flickr group.

Never caught his name, which is too bad because he was one of the best I have ever heard on stage. Inaugural Ball at the House of Blues.
Today, we inaugurate a new leader of the United States. My hope is that President Obama will not disappoint those people who are so passionate for him to deliver on promises of change. It may be change, but is it change for the better?
