rom my education and
work experience, you’d call me a numbers guy; I am a retired Variance Analyst. I
remember what variance analysis was like before computers. But while
referencing those monstrous mechanical machines during a public speaking
assignment, I realised and prophesied that one day they would sit on my desk.
I, for one, am certainly glad they did.
Journalism always piqued my curiosity. I admired
the ability to analyse a situation and to communicate what was happening. Grammatically,
I am not pedantic, but I definitely prefer to use and read correct English and
not an Americanization of the language. I will leave that discussion for
another day. Suffice it to say, I find it not only utilitarian but also a
language that is aesthetically pleasing to read.
As technology improved, so did my
understanding of the importance visual communications had, and I became
passionate about digital media, especially photography.
I used all three aspects of the
above in business: analysis, writing and photography. The expression, ‘a
picture is worth a thousand words,’ is true. Being able to analyse, communicate
and visualise problems helped me a great deal.
