Marketing is the process by which companies determine what products or services may be of interest to customers, and the strategy to use in sales, communications and business development. It is an integrated process through which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers in return.

Marketing is used to identify the customer, to keep the customer, and to satisfy the customer. With the customer as the focus of its activities, it can be concluded that marketing management is one of the major components of business management. The evolution of marketing was caused due to mature markets and overcapacities in the last 2-3 centuries. Companies then shifted the focus from production to the customer in order to stay profitable.

The term marketing concept holds that achieving organizational goals depends on knowing the needs and wants of target markets and delivering the desired satisfactions.It proposes that in order to satisfy its organizational objectives, an organization should anticipate the needs and wants of consumers and satisfy these more effectively than competitors.

ya sabes..

"A quien madruga.. Dios le ayuda.."

al menos le ayuda a hacer bonitas fotos..

:)

Hoy..

me siento como un limón..

raro.. verdad?..

tiene su explicación..

a los limones..

para sacarles lo mejor de si mismos.. (el jugo)

hay que cortarlos por la mitad..

hay que apretarles bien fuerte..

incluso hay quien les clava un tenedor..

y lo retuerce..

hasta que no queda nada dentro..

..

Has visto como queda el pobre al final..?

Hoy me siento limón..

:)

.........

Oui.. il y a des jours que c'est comme ça..

On dit en Espagnol..

"celui qui se lève tôt..

trouve l'aide de Dieu.."

possible..

en tout cas se lever tôt.. aide a faire des belles photos..

:)

aujourd'hui je me sens citron..

j'explique..

ce qu'il y a de meilleur au citron..

c'est son jus..

pour l'extraire..

il faut le couper.. en deux..

puis l'écraser..

il y en a, même qui lui enfoncent une fourchette..

jusqu'à la dernière goutte..

tu as vu le résultat?

l'aspect du citron après..?

..

aujourd'hui..

je me sens citron..

Bom dia tristeza..

Maria Bethania

Bom dia, tristeza... Que tarde, tristeza... Você veio hoje me ver... Já estava ficando... Até meio triste... De estar tanto tempo Longe de você... Se chegue, tristeza... Se sente comigo. Aqui, nesta mesa de bar. Beba do meu copo... Me dê o seu ombro...Que é para eu chorar...Chorar de tristeza... Tristeza de amar...

besicos..

este amanecer es para ti.. Yak..

mi primera amiga de este Flickymundo..

con todo mi cariño..

This weekend exactly one year ago I started with light-painting at this exact same spot. It turned out to be a very addictive new art form for me and I cant live without now anymore ;) so I want to thank everyone who helped me in the past year with my light painting work! Greets, Jelle.

Extracts from the creative quarter in Nottingham

Yesterday I was putting our younger daughter Meri to sleep by riding around the neighborhood with baby carriage. There is this one underpass tunnel here that often calls for me with its yellow walls and this time I decided to head that way. When I arrived to scene I realized that I only had the Loxia 2/50 with me and I thought, at first, that I should come back again later with a wide angle lens like Touit 2.8/12 as the space felt too tight. To be honest I was guided by this idea of standard focal lengths that one has to use for certain subjects. Ultra wide angles for landscapes and architecture, 85mm for portraits, 35mm for reportages with human interest and so on, I'm sure everyone knows this as it is a very common way to speak about our photographic needs. I was already ready to leave the place when I realized that having a 'wrong lens' was just a excuse for not facing the fact that I really had no idea of what I should come up with here – and leaning on the idea of standard focal lengths wasa way to legitimize this thought process. Insecurities like these can easily ruin many photographic possibilities and it gets easier to cross over them once you allow yourself to experiment and fail if necessary (do not hunt for the perfect picture, instead enjoy the process). So with this kind of flexibility in my mind I decided just to stop there and take 30 mins or so to experiment with this 'wrong focal length' and the tunnel. After many different ideas I came up with the image you see above and I'm pretty happy with a certain graphical nature it possesses in my eye. It's definitely different and perhaps more interesting than what I would come up with if I had followed my own idea of a proper focal length for this scene. Mission accomplished!

What this experience reminded me, was the creative limitations that one can encounter when using prime lenses. Especially with the creative photography limiting yourself to one focal length at the time will often reveal more interesting compositions and visual motifs than what one could obtain by following the idea of standard focal lengths (and standard subjects). I must emphasize that I do understand how useful the standards might be in a large scheme of things, but at the same time I feel that many are following them too tightly and not giving space for their own photographic eye. Especially the beginners tend to think that they need those 18-200 mm zoom-lenses to be able to photograph anything, but in real world these same lenses tend to fasten their feet on the ground and shutdown the process of composition. That's why I prefer primes over zoom-lenses and yesterday was just one experience that reminded me about it again. It's the limitations that stir up creativity in you, so go in with prime lenses!
