Open Hand Philosophy

The question of what is “open hand philosophy” has been coming up as of late. “Open hand philosophy” is my business plan; it is why I embrace creative commons, releasing copyrights to my clients and why I try to stay away from conventional marketing and advertising.

Tradition business would tell us we are in business to simply and to only make money. The question that I ask is: with new technology should there not be new philosophy toward business? Can creativity and service be our product?

Insignificant perhaps, in view of the entire occurrence on the planet at this time, but the principal offering we as photographer/business owner can make is to grow a conscious capitalism business.
