Disney. It all came from an idea... of a mouse.

"I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource - the minds of our children.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.

Laughter is America's most important export.

Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language."

-Walt Disney

I was at downtown Disney at ESPN Zone, eating a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and playing some basketball, and I saw another quote from Walt Disney.
"Inspire. Imagine. Dream."

Then I got thinking...
I see it the other way.
Dream. Innovate. Inspire.

Dream of the mouse. Innovate or create the mouse. Inspire others of the mouse.

Disney words applied to my work:
Dream of the photos. Innovate the photos in my own way. Inspire others of the photos.

I never really thought about dreaming, innovating, and inspiring before. I just wake up everyday and do my thing. Just be Joey.

Then I got thinking...
As simple as Disney's idea's were, they are an excellent foundation for any business and branding. It is the simple ideas & practices used for the foundation of companies that lead to greatness. Details are always being fine tuning, but company mission statements are important to relay to clients & associates. Mission statments also reflect in your personality. I would imagine Disney was Disney, all of the time.
Disney never considered himself a genius, but his idea's and philosophies are on the same level as Einstein. (No Joke. Except Disney's ideas never destroyed cities.)

Disney, Einstein, and myself are dyslexic. And I see similar patters that break molds that information and ideas dyslexic's bring to the table.

Dream. Innovate. Inspire.
I am definately in dream mode. I think about pictures and photos ALL of the time. Not just mine, but every image I see. I dream about my passion, photography. I am in reconstruction mode for building my wedding business. I constantly innovate new ways to refine my work, and quite honestly, I have a lot of fresh creative edge and ideas to offer to my clients. I don't know how or who I inspire, but as of now, I would hope to inspire people to get out of their element and travel (cities, restaurants, museums, parks, scenery & greenery) go places, and see things you would not see in your everyday life.
