One on One with Kevin Kubota |
 DWF
Convention speaker Kevin Kubota, has one of the most
recognizable names in the photography world. In addition to
being the author of some amazing actions, a wedding
photographer and a world renowned speaker.In our exclusive
interview Kevin shares with us this advice, "Change your mind,
and your heart will follow. Watch what you think, because you
ARE what you think. Even if we don’t physically say negative
things to people, about people, or about our own situations –
we can manifest them by just thinking them. We also have a
choice about what we want to think or feel. The more you fill
your head with positive thoughts, well-wishes, and calming
words – the better your life can be. We always have a choice."
