Things to do with Ladders

Continuing my exploration of Bond-M-Q personalities, here are three aspects of me with the 'Bond' in ascension. I store the images I use here on Flikr, and back in the summer i got involved in a group that takes photos every day on a chosen subject, and built up quite a following. These days I spend little time there and as a consequence the popularity of my images has fallen drastically, largely because many people count as their friends those people who admire them - you get feedback as long as you continue to admire, and you are much more understandable. Looking at work that is not going to generate some feedback is of much less interest. Spend you time in bond mode and you will generate much more interest, be beautiful and people will want to be seen with you for comparison (like having your photographs being shown alongside those of a famous photographer).

OK, fair enough, but where does this leave people unable to be beautiful of engage their bond? The answer is, too often, alone or unable to demonstrate their full ability. I quickly get bored by bonds and the beautiful, while they impress early it is not long before their smiles wear out their welcome, I am much more interested in people who have to struggle to achieve anything, I look for that hidden potential and try and draw it out.

This photo is for all those people who are alone, not for those who have many friends and a reasonable job but are merely dissatisfied. You can achieve without expensive equipment, learning how to do more with a little can help you to focus on position, layout and the relationship between people and objects.
