		<description>This reminds me of the little story I read about Picasso. True or not, it&#039;s an excellent metaphor for understanding what goes into creating good art:

Picasso was sitting at a table outside a Paris cafe. A woman came up and asked him to draw something for her on a napkin. He complied, doodling as only he could.

After he quickly finished he requested the French equivalent of $5,000.

Aghast, the woman said, “but it only took you 2 minutes!”
Smiling, he replied, “no Madam, it took me my whole life.”

The value of that nice photo you made today goes way beyond the photo itself. The real value comes from years and years of experience, training, hard work, courage, etc., that brought you to the place where you could take that great photo.

Someone could be standing right next to you with the exact same camera and lens, but without your vision and experience, they would almost certainly take a very different photo.</description>

		<description>Thanks Dan and Malane, nothing feels better than to know our images really do inspire, and then action is taken for one to get their own experiences based on that inspiration</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve certainly never hired the Patitucci&#039;s for anything, but your photography inspires me in so many different ways, and it pulls and pushes so many different passions of mine.  Thank You for inspiring me in all the right ways.  With the heart.  And the soul!</description>

		<description>The photos are great and image(ry) is everything!  The images we saw before deciding to run the Alta Via 1 with holimites were the factor that put us over the edge.  Turned out to be one of the best experiences ever.</description>

		<description>Well I couldn&#039;t approve this one fast enough....... thanks Igor! I feel the same about Holimites.com - these comments look like SPAM to each other with all the compliments. ;-)</description>

		<description>&quot;A picture is worth a thousand words&quot; ... right?
Or what did Aristoteles say loooong time ago:
&quot;The soul never thinks without a picture&quot;

So if you want to say something with a picture and want to enter in the viewers sould .... there must be not a good picture but a DAMN good picture.

You can find something &#039;good&#039; on every stock photo website, but try to find a picture that really speaks to you and gives you some type of emotion. That&#039;s harder and it costs time, time nowadays is value, and value is ... well .. money.

For this reason, meeting the Patitucci&#039;s for our Holimites travel company was, (and still is because the pictures impress us every time) like finding the &quot;Needle in the Haystack&quot;.

There is just one problem, finding the right picture in an amazing stock of Dolomites pictures is like finding the &quot;Needed needle in a haystack FULL of needles!&quot;

		<description>Love the sun peaking through the cyclist&#039;s arm in the last one.  And the landscape is beautiful. Much much better than my desk.</description>
