Here are comments on Can photography increase your intelligence and sales?

I am what you call a “Brain Scientist” but I prefer to be called a cognitive neurologist. I must say you have a unique talent of breaking down complex subjects into terms that most everyone can comprehend. That is a very unusual skill. Some of the areas you have expressed are controversial, but the way you have interlinked them through photography brings these areas into a better focus, (no pun intended) and worthy of additional research. Most of my life I have been exploring the hallways of the brain and not looking at the “Big Picture.” Thank you for getting me out of my mind. I applaud you for connecting many different theories into an interesting formula. Now if you can only make my research as simple.

Firstly I want to congratulate you about the very well written and elucidative article. The way how brains were exposed and its mechanisms, is simply superb. Some considerations, really make photographers think twice before clicking the next shot.

Eye opening! Mind opening!

I’ve already landed a huge client by sending them a link to your article. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. Keep writing articles that bring clients around. I've been working on this company for three years.

Well, that's certainly interesting. I do like the concept of photographs being our basic language, a universal means of conveying information and emotion. Thinking like this means photography is borderless - anyone, anywhere in the world can respond to my images in some way without knowing my language (or the technical details of the picture).

But doesn't this just follow on the research of learning types? Visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.? And how does it explain modern art?

“By the way, the brain does not care if photoshop has been used.”
I like this sentence it is great :D

Oh Randall we have to meet next time I am in WA or next time you are in New England. Fascinating stuff. Maybe stuff is not the right word, but I’m a photographer.

Sorry to hear that Best USA Photographers has a new owner. Hope they will continue what you were planning. I think you were on the verge of something big. I mean Really Really big for our profession. Photography needs a new leader with fresh eyes who can see a few miles ahead of Dead Man’s Curve. Love this article on intelligence. Going to send clients this page. Hope you stay active on the web.

My thoughts exactly.

Fragments!!! It all makes sense. Looking forward to your other articles. Hope they are all as interesting and informative.

I believe that photography can improve and increase awareness through which we view the world and people and, more generally, makes us aware of what is around us. In this sense photography probably helps us to be more intelligent or sensitive.

I’ve been a big fan of Best USA Photographers and learned a lot from the photographers on there. I’m glad you are still writing for them. Dad said he met you at the Congressional Medal of Honor Banquet in Philadelphia and you talked about Vietnam and how some gave all. You’ll know who I am by that. One of these days I’ll make the big leap.

If photographs rule the world, then maybe photographers should be asking for a bigger piece of the action instead of giving away their work. Let’s give credit, where credit is due. This is a MUST READ for all photographers but especially want-to-bes.

I’m impressed – Been in photography 40 some years and I did not know that. Places the subject of photography in an interesting light.

I think you should put this on real estate blogs since you use real estate photography as an example.

Google beat us to the punch

Google beat us to the punch
by Randall Tomaras - April 1, 2010


Best USA Photographers is undergoing a face lift and we noticed the publicity that the towns were receiving or creating for the Google high speed competition. So we were going to change our name. First we thought of changing our name to Google, but our lawyers warned us against that. So we saw that Topeka was going to change their name to Google. So why not pick up on all the Topeka link juice and good will that Topeka had. Hey we could have fun with that. Now I see that Google has once again beat us to the punch. They just seem to be one step ahead of everyone.

It was a brilliant move that will go down as one of the most cleaver maneuvers in modern business. They might even get back in China because of it. Topeka almost sounds Chinese. It might even be short for “To Peking.” At any rate people around the world are now saying that Google is not a cold hard business that makes billions, they are a warm fuzzy company with a sense of humor that makes billions, regardless of their name.

Let’s just have fun today because city councils and big business need fun and love too.

Got to go now the lawyer just told me the Google name is now available.


While you are here feel free to check out our best photographers
There are only 100 right now but we plan on at least 10 per state
in various categories

After all you can't have a name Best USA Photographers and invite everyone to be a part of it. The consumers demand some quality standards. If you want over 50 million "Photographer" web pages to sort through, go to Topeka and Topeka it.
