Track & Field world record caught on amateur You Tube video by jeff noel:
Part of the allure of You Tube is in it’s raw, edgy quality. Real life in real time. No set-up, nothing staged or acted. People like that. We like the magic of the real moment. jeff noel likes capturing it. A lot.
Okay, so the first photo jeff noel took at the Masters Track & Field World Championship in Lahti, Finland was out of focus. Contrast that with the second photo. Same teddy bear, same background. Big improvement. PS. The significance behind Lane 8 is another story for another day.
And by the way, jeff noel considers the second photo, with much improved focus and lighting to still be boorishly amateur. What’s brilliant is the desire to learn.
If the rich just keep getting richer, ask yourself why. They keep investing on top of what they already have. Same with Boomers, except consider your net worth in terms of learned wisdom. Learn from “dumb” mistakes, continually making better choices and eventually you can learn to tell decent stories with social media.
Boomers, start getting used to social media. Don’t be afraid. Just do it. Use good judgement, make calculated mistakes, damage control, etc?
Just being real (authentic) here. People post photos of the dumbest stuff posed in the dumbest places. What I love about these “dumb mistakes” is how much the student stands to learn.
People who grow up learning things digitally versus the Baby Boomers who learned from a paper page or chalk board, have far less fear (none) and apprehension using social media.
Few Boomers lead the charge (didn’t say none). And if you’re a tech-savy Boomer, rock on. If you’re not, good luck with that – you have a huge learning curve to run from, or to.
