How To Find And Do Work You Love

Scott Dinsmore's mission is to change the world by helping people find what excites them and build a career around the work only they are capable of doing. He is a career change strategist whose demoralizing experience at a Fortune 500 job launched his quest to understand why 80% of adults hate the work they do, and more importantly, to identify what the other 20% were doing differently.

Scott distilled the results down to his Passionate Work Framework - three surprisingly simple practices for finding and doing work you love, that all happen to be completely within our control.

The Most Incredible Time-Lapse Video I’ve Ever Seen

This video was shot by photographer Dustin Farrell in Arizona and Utah (yay!). He said, “Every frame of this video is a raw still from a Canon 5D2 DSLR and processed with Adobe software. In Volume 2 I again show off my beautiful home state of Arizona and I also made several trips to Utah. This video has some iconic landmarks that we have seen before. I felt that showing them again with motion controlled HDR and/or night timelapse would be a new way to see old landmarks.”

In layman’s terms… he used a camera. Not a camcorder. A DSLR camera. And he put each individual picture together on a computer to make it into a video.

I’m blown away. I’m speechless. Some things are so powerful and so beautiful that to see them will turn your soul inside out. This certainly did it for me.

Thank you Dustin.

And please, share this with everybody. As a fellow and very inferior photographer, I can tell you that he deserves every view he gets. The time that must have gone into this is almost unimaginable.
