The origin of RISK. Last week, I shared my word for 2012 – RISK. When I narrowed on that word it came as a shock to me. I fully intended the word to be “intentional” based on my lessons from my 2011 word – FREEDOM. Looking back on why I chose RISK, I see 2 […]
It’s okay. You’re not alone.
Time for a road trip. Last weekend, Kia and I returned from a 13 day road trip with our 4 kids. We logged over 3000 miles and 9 states of driving. Our goal was my dad and step-mom in West Palm Beach, Florida, but along the way we stopped to visit family and friends. Some […]
Andy Bondurant’s word for 2012
Last year, Kia and a friend each chose a word to strive for during 2011. I loved the idea, and chose freedom for myself. I wrote about it throughout 2011.

The top 11 life posts on 2011
It all flows from your life. Of all 3 categories, this was the most fun for me. It gave me a glimpse of what I’ve dealt with, struggled through, and overcome. Your business and photography will only be as deep and successful as your life. It’s why The Collective dedicates a third of our categories […]

10 Books that shaped my life.
When someone asks me if I’m a reader, I’m never sure how to answer that question. I do like to read, and I am reading all the time. Everyday I have a list of blogs, news outlets and more that I peruse. However, I read books in spurts – usually 2-3 in a row, then […]

This is part 2 of 2 in using THE most powerful word in your life and business to produce freedom. Read part 1 on how hearing “No,” produces Freedom. Freedom is worth dying for. If the above statement is true, why do we continually give FREEDOM away? First, freedom is worth dying for. On a […]
Are you doing hard work or working hard?

What I learned last year in life, business, creativity.
Sunday I turned 38. I’ve come to realize that there is no other way to see it. I’m closer to 40 than any other number (than 39 which is basically 40). I’m okay with that. In fact, I’m great with 40. I’m excited about what the next 5, 10, 20 years of my life is going […]
