PR Your Pics!

As we all know, pictures can tell a story in a thousand ways and usually based on one's perception. However, depending on the event and where the photo was taken and with who, it could serve as a great public relations tool to use for detailing an awesome outing. How? Glad you asked. Most times when we are invited to a great event, where there are movers and shakers, as well as other VIP's, the camera's are usually flashing all around to capture the attendees throughout the evening. Now, if you happen to be one of the lucky ones to make it on to the "red" carpet, then you are pretty much guaranteed to have a great story to tell about your picture. And, what you want to do is give your clients and/or readers a realistic synopsis of the evening in a way that makes them feel and wish that they were there. "PR-ing" your pictures also allows you to give some "pro bono" PR spins for the event planner, which makes people want to connect to that particular entity on a business level. So, with that being said..if you're in Marketing, PR  or Blogging, consider "PR-ing " your photos...you'll be glad you did!

Who is TKO T.R.E?

Ok, so, it isn't often that I meet someone who totally impresses me when it comes to music. However, there is an exception to every rule. Recently I had the opportunity to meet a young, rising star artist by the name of TKO T.R.E. from Richmond, VA and I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with him and get a personal look into who he is and what his message is about. TKO stands for Takeover Gang, not "gang" in the violent sense, but "gang" as in his family, friends and supporters. At, 19 years old, TKO T.R.E. offers a true experience of his life via his conscious/street style of music, which was evident in his recent video, "Who Am I?". How many times have we asked ourselves this question. If you want to learn more about TKO T.R.E.,visit him on www.takeovergang.blogspot.com, follow on twitter @takeovergangTRE.  Also, download his music here, http://www.mediafire.com/?c8xoxonhopyas8e

Take Your Shades Off....

It's amazing how we go through life never really seeing it for what it is because of the type of shades that we wear. I'm not speaking of “shades” in the literal since, but shades that double as blinders. I believe that a lot of us wear shades to protect ourselves from seeing people or situations as reality. However, there are always going to be times of adversity when the shades are going to have to come off and you will have to face your fears head on. This is when we realize that what our “shade” reality is/was is totally different from “naked eye” reality, which is being able to look through the soul of people and situations without any filters. Experiencing life in this manner can be a scary thing because it forces us to really think about the lies that we have based our lives on, constantly telling ourselves, “our that person isn't so bad.” or “ everything is all good in my home.”, when it just isn't the truth. People we have got to be more conscious about who or what we decide to wear shades for, because at the end of the day they can be keeping you from reality and setting you up for total blindness.
