#3. In this episode of CREATE. PHOTOGRAPHY, host Daniel Sigg will discuss how limitation can spur creativity with Australian photographer and filmmaker Hashem McAdam.

Hashem discusses how too many options can hurt creativity and how limitation can paradoxically increase it. Since both of us are film photographers (which also is limiting in its own right), we briefly touched on that (and our favorite film stocks), and then wrapped up by discussing some of Hashem's favorite photographers. This also brought us to Saul Leiter who we both admire (and who will be featured in a future episode.).

The show notes contains a link to Hashem's website and social media including his YouTube channel. There will also be a link to his Vlog with several images from his Nepal trip using limited gear, a list of Hashem's (and my) favorite B&W and color film stocks, and links to some of Hashem's favorite photographers.
