Saturday's Shutterbug Spotlight - Nicolesy
Nicolesy (Nicole S. Young/Matiash) is another photographer I became aware of through TWiP, and truly is one of those I admire the most because she has made photography work as her full time source of income. She an author, a photographer who sells stock photography, and more. Her work is clean and appealing, just as you would expect it to be.
You can find Nicole at her site, nicolesyblog.com, on Google+, Facebook, or Twitter.

Wednesday's Words of the Day
Look at your client this week, imagine it is you on the other side of the camera. What would someone have to do for you to get you in that place where you feel trust, trust to let go of your insecurity and fear and let your true self come forward. Can you create that space for people, can you hold that space for them? I want them to feel beautiful, I want them to come forward, I want to hold that safe place for them for as long as I can and I will never let them feel unsure or unsafe in that space. I respect that space.

Saturday's Shutterbug Spotlight - Will Jacks
Many of the photographers that inspire me are those that are creative, but I am also as easily inspired by those who document life. We often don't realize that the images, videos, and writings we produce now will tell the story of our generation to the future, and while there are more pictures now than ever, there are pictures that have yet to be taken and stories that have yet to be told. Will Jacks is a person with such a mission, documenting life in the south, particularly at Juke Joints. Below is a sample of his interesting work.
You can find out more about will and his work at his website, Wiljax.com, or check out his Portrait of a Juke Joint Project.
