Be Different

We run with the herd as there is safety in numbers. We are provided protection from those that may prey upon us.

However, we need those that stand alone, visionaries, leaders, artists and thinkers
for it is through their skills, wisdom, knowledge and inspiration that we may develop and flourish.

All of us have something to offer, and as photographers we can show a window to infinite scenes, ideas and creations.
All we need is faith in ourselves, confidence in our message, and a little courage to stand out in the crowd and Be Different.

For the "Paper" Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge.
Other Paper Merchants may be seen in the forum ::here::

::Part of my Thursday Challenge Collection::

Great this one, huge vote, VVV

Perfect shot for the challenge. I do so agrfee with your words. I always admired Churchill, Heseltine and anyone elses who loses out personally for what they believe is right. There seem to be less around these days though!
Jeff Lobaugh20-Jun-2008 16:33
Well done!
Guest 20-Jun-2008 14:57
What a great idea and you've captured it well. I was running around looking for my childhood paper dolls after this :)

You always think outside the square. Brilliant.
Dave Hein20-Jun-2008 04:22
This one is a cluster buster for sure.
Great job & thinking

Dan Chusid19-Jun-2008 18:27
Now you've done it.
I hadn't had a chance to read that one yet.

Fabulous concept and execution.
I think being different comes natural to me, but not in the way you say. I've never stood out from the crowd, except that I was the one outside the crowd...
Guest 19-Jun-2008 16:47
great entry. I really enjoyed your story beneath the photo - so true!

Well said, and a great entry for the challenge. I never could make those things.
Guest 19-Jun-2008 13:19
A really creative idea, perfectly executed. The paper people are fab and the contrast with the wall is just right.
Alida Thorpe19-Jun-2008 12:53
Excellent entry for paper! Creative and interesting in addition to being well shot.

What a great text and a great picture. Big V
Máire Uí Mhaicín19-Jun-2008 08:51
Very thoughtprovoking. Your 'different' little man is much more colourful and has eyes that can see both in front of and behind him.
Rose Atkinson19-Jun-2008 08:51
Wow - very philosophical ! Great sentiments though and a fitting picture to go with them. I like that just one figure is different from the rest.
Ann...19-Jun-2008 07:47
Awesome Ian - Well done and well said!!
Nicki Thurgar19-Jun-2008 07:36
Very well said Ian, you are right in what you say... it does take courage to be different from the crowd! And what a fabulous interpretation for your challenge shot! V
