my multi-week update will have to wait.. yet again..
Phil, a photoblog would be cool, but i can't communicate that well with my photos alone :P i sux (not that my words make sense either).. along those lines...
You know when you talk about something that is particular to a group, person or a situation? It's one thing to understand the concept, but another reality to experience and have to deal with it for the long haul.
Communication is the topic of the week.
I know for a fact that when I talk, I'm ALL OVER THE PLACE. I'm like the 'more-normal' version of a mr chu i knew in highschool (basically a genius who's ideas can bottleneck at the mouth to produce a basic standstill in his speech). I jump from idea to idea (seemingly random) and sometimes have ppl with the glazed look in their eyes (and that's aside from the boring parts).
In the Delta leadership context, this was clearly evident yesterday.. we had a pretty cool listening meeting.. until we started to 'discuss/plan'.. it's amazing when ppl are clearly aiming for the same goal, but when there's a slight difference in execution strat., style, or ideas, it can really break the flow of moving forward together. in seeing where small groups (sg) fit into delta, we ground to a halt and eventually, kizzle had some fitting words for us all to "get our act together please"... tensions rose, but i think that when there's frustration, it's a combination of passion, care, and 'something at stake' for the individuals involved.. this "passionate" discussion leaked into the rest of the evening when i was discussing sg with fred+hk, then add in andrea, then just me and hk.. it's amazing how we realized how a seemingly harmless suggestion (eg groups of 8 vs 10) can spark into something else. i definitely learned that because of my communication style (haven't clearly defined it yet :P), i have probably been a bit confusing about sg (unless i've been in a 1:1-4 setting).. but regardless, from what i know, the leadership core is all for small groups and is apparently deferring to me in many a matter. yikes =)
moving forward.. my commitment: a working model of sg and how it could work and building the team.
here's one shot from the distillery this past weekend.. a little garish i know, but i love fluffy blue skies.

i like the composition.
somehow that brick wall looks overly postprocessed though. maybe it's just me.
hehe, yeah, i bumped up a lot of levels (saturation/contrast) and converted the raw file twice (one for sky, one for building)...
