"Today I’m with my good friend, Mr. Houston, who is an award winning travel photographer that has been all over the world and I’m excited to share with you his experiences, what makes him tick, and what motivates and inspires him to do what he does. Houston’s nature makes it easy to connect with people and make friends because to him, everyone is a friend, so he often is able to quickly break that barrier between himself and the people he’s working with, which really helps in the world of photography. Regardless of intellectual ability, nobody does very well when they’re alone, but when you have a whole team and people with whom you can work together, that’s when you’ll see true success.

“It’s easy to take a spectacular picture of the Eiffel Tower, but it’s a little trickier when you’re confined to your own backyard, but Houston’s had a really good experience of being able to spend time. Here we life in Tennessee, and so we’ve got the Great Smoky Mountains, and we spent quite a bit of time there, and so he’s been able to hone his skills literally in our backyard.” 3:25
