Often Copied

I recently found two Photo Restoration services were using my photos for advertising their own work.
One was in the US and the other was in Ireland. I promptly brought it to their attention and they both acknowledged it was mine and apologized for the error caused by a marketing company.
Anyway, I guess they saw the value in my work to pass it off as their own.

Does hypnosis work for Weight Loss?

Hypnosis is more than the gaze into my eyes image of the stage and demonstrational hypnotist. Hypnosis is a medically accepted science since 1958. 
“Hypnosis is a state of mind in which critical faculty of the human mind is bypassed and selective thinking is established.” Dave Elman Author, Hypnotherapy
“There are as many definitions of hypnosis as there are definers.” W.S. Kroger, MDAuthor, Clinical & Experimental Hypnosis
Every hypnotist can only define hypnosis based on his experience with hypnosis. The applications techniques and strategies used by the hypnotist combined with individual responses, results and outcomes of those people he has hypnotized. That’s why there are as many definitions of hypnosis as there are definers.
Every hypnotist has different skill levels, experience and training. Therefore, the difference in their opinions – what hypnosis is, how does hypnosis work, how it is best used, what the benefits of hypnosis are – will vary with each practitioner based solely on personal experience.

Does hypnosis work?

A brief review of the line history of hypnosis will answer your question with surgical precision. Then I will answer the question you should be asking, WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HYPNOSIS, WILL IT WORK FOR ME?
The theories about hypnosis abound. None are fact. All are inconclusive. Here are some startling and revealing facts that answer the question, “Does hypnosis work?” and “How does hypnosis work?”

Before Hypnosis For Stop Smoking

  • Earliest written record of hypnosis described in Ebers papyrus, 3,000 years ago.
  • Earliest medical records describe healing in hypnotic form conducted in the Aesculapiean temples.
  • Récamier performs first recorded use of hypnoanesthesia in surgery. (1821)
  • Dr. James Esdaile performs hundreds of surgeries during battlefield conditions with amazing success.
  • Dr. James Braid is called the Father of Modern Hypnotism for coining the terms hypnosis and hypnotism. Braid later regretted the moniker realizing hypnosis was not sleep. (1841)
  • Catholic Church approves hypnosis in the Holy See of 1847.
  • Sigmund Freud bombs as a hypnotist but his failure did not slow the progress of hypnosis.
  • Clark Hull’s Yale University experiments renew interest in hypnosis and is responsible for the scientific understanding we have for hypnosis today. (1933)
  • Dave Elman, stage hypnotist, introduces time saving hypnotic procedures and teaches an estimated 10,000 physicians his techniques. Elman’s contributions cannot be underestimated. He is credited for making hypnosis economically practical for busy physicians. Elman’s work is still considered to be of the best ever. His basic induction is widely used in clinics today.
  • British Medical Association approves the use of hypnosis in 1955.

Hypnosis receives mass acceptance as society searches for ways to lose weight and stop smoking

The success of everyday applications of hypnosis lead to acceptance of hypnosis in fields that include business, law enforcement, sports and academics. Hypnosis is a first choice treatment instead of the last hope for many hypnotic applications. More simply, hypnosis has arrived. The public’s current sophistication combined with modern scientific hypnosis has created a perfect storm for you and most everyone to make a significant improvement in overall physical and psychological well being. Hypnosis helps you discover who you really are so you can be who you want to be.
Does Hypnosis Work? Approximately 12,000 psychologists, dentists, law enforcement officers, MDs, hypnotherapists and social workers hypnotize an estimated 10,000 Americans every day for a wide array of applications.
The Chicago Sun Times (March, 2006) featured an article “Hypnosis is safe, natural and effective.” What more could you ask for? A winner by even the most critical standards.
Psychology, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis are a few modern day sciences given birth by the emergence and subsequent study of hypnosis.
Hypnosis is the art and science of suggestion. Suggestion is the uncritical acceptance of an idea.

To answer your question, does hypnosis work? 

Yes! An emphatic yes backed by studies and documented results. It is indisputable. Hypnosis’ value in several fields has been well documented and studied for decades.
Does hypnosis work for everyone for everything? No. And it would be naive to ever believe it would.
There are no magic wands or miracle cures. No replacement for your commitment and desire to succeed. Hypnosis cannot make your decisions for you, it can only influence them.
Most everyone can enjoy the many benefits of hypnosis with the exception of the very old, very young and the intellectually challenged. Personal commitment and cooperation are mandatory for success.

The Top 10 Wedding Photographers (2007)

The Top 10 Wedding Photographers (2007)


We present our first-ever list of the best wedding photographers in the world (2007).

 
March/April 2007




Wedding photographers used to get no respect, either from customers or other pros. It's only recently that they've been widely recognized for their multifaceted talent. In the course of a wedding day they serve as architectural photographer, documenting locations; as portrait photographer, flattering the day's key players; as product photographer, shooting a closeup of the rings; and as photojournalist, telling a story, under pressure, with pictures. One indication of wedding photographers' new status is that they are being asked to do more and more work outside their geographic bases. Another is that they earn more money than ever. So American Photo decided it was high time to give these photographic specialists some extra attention. Herewith, ten of the best and most influential wedding photographers working today.

Denis Reggie

Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Website: denisreggie.com
During his 25-year career, Reggie has almost single-handedly redefined wedding photography. He's shot hundreds of celebrity weddings, including the marriage of Arnold Schwarzenegger to Maria Shriver and John Kennedy Jr. to Carolyn Bessette, at which he made one of the most famous wedding pictures of all time -- of the groom kissing the bride's hand as they step out of the one-room church where the ceremony was held.
Reggie earned his fame by practicing and advocating a new style of wedding photography that he called "wedding photojournalism." His approach broke from the usual stiff, posed pictures, "covering" the nuptials as a real-life event. "I am a quiet observer of the wedding," he says, "searching for moments that define the story of the day."

Jeff Ascough

Location: Littleover, Derbyshire, England
Website: jeffascough.net
The first photographer in the UK to shoot weddings with a photojournalist's style, Ascough garnered global attention when his wedding work was featured in a 2004 issue of the Washington Post. Given his style, it makes sense that Ascough cites Henri Cartier-Bresson as an influence. While many wedding photographers shoot nonstop, he often composes an image and waits for the "decisive moment."
Ascough relies on fast lenses so he can shoot by available light. That practice also lessens the need for strobe, which the photographer avoids whenever possible. Ascough's artistry often nets him assignments with British rock stars and other celebrities -- brides and grooms who are willing to trade a little glamour for more style.

Joe Buissink

Location: Beverly Hills, California
Website: joebuissink.com
All you probably need to know about Buissink's talent is that none other than Annie Leibovitz has hired him. Twice, in fact -- once to shoot her sister's wedding, then to shoot her cousin's. Getting the nod from America's most famous photographer was "truly humbling," says Buissink. Yet in the past 12 years Buissink has shot weddings for nearly as many celebrities as Annie has portrayed, including Jessica Simpson, Barry Bonds, and Jennifer Lopez.
You'd think celebrities would be demanding clients, but Buissink says he doesn't really worry about what his customers want. He assumes that when someone hires him, it's on the basis of the work he's done and the style of that work. That work, in turn, is what Buissink likes to do, and does best. "Always remain true to yourself," he says.
Nonetheless, Buissink insists that it's very important for a wedding specialist to evolve stylistically -- to explore new ideas and techniques, and to take artistic risks. As a starting point he preaches what he practices, shooting quickly and "flowing" with the constant stream of moments that make up a wedding day. "There's nothing more gratifying than seizing the moment with your camera," says the photographer.

Bambi Cantrell

Location: Pleasant Hill, California
Website: cantrellportrait.com
There is probably no wedding photographer working today who can make a bride feel more beautiful than Cantrell can. She studies trends constantly, knows the top gown and shoe designers, and, most important, understands what brides want. She is, in fact, at the forefront of the movement to bring glamour to contemporary wedding photography. "I just wanted brides to see in their wedding photography the type of photographs they see in the wedding magazines," Cantrell explained in a recent lecture. "No one was doing that kind of work."
Shooting nuptials like a fashion photographer, Cantrell still has the needed reflexes -- reacting to all the things that can go wrong on such a complicated, important day. "I once had to photograph a bride in a hotel restroom," she says. "The images actually won some awards!" The proof of Cantrell's talent can be seen in the way wedding photographers around the world have followed her creative lead, and in how-to books such as The Art of Digital Wedding Photography (written with Skip Cohen, Amphoto, $30).

Alisha and Brook Todd

Location: San Francisco
Website: alishabrook.com
Just a few years ago this couple often could be found sitting in the front row of photo seminars around the country, and staying after to ask questions of the featured shooter. They clearly were paying attention: The Todds have opened a new studio in San Francisco's Hearst Building and have photographed a wedding on the Oprah Winfrey Show for a segment called "Fantasy Dreams Come True." They've also bounced back from an accident in which a deck packed with wedding guests collapsed, injuring Alisha and 30 others.
As with nearly all the other wedding photographers in our top ten, the Todds report that their clients usually let them call the shots, literally. The style that gives brides and grooms such confidence is a smooth blend of documentary and fine art. And art it is, employing everything from tilted frames, tight, often whimsical crops, and rough borders with the look of filed-out negative carriers -- not to mention prints on fiber-based paper. "We don't see things as they are," says Alisha, quoting French diarist Anaïs Nin. "We see things as we are."
