PHOTO FLUNKY: Episode 9

I’m your host, William Beem. Welcome to the Photo Flunky Show, Episode number nine.

Today we’re going to be talking about inspiration. Is it unreliable? Find out!

Hi, welcome to the Photo Flunky Show, available at photoflunky.com. You can find links there to subscribe on iTunes and Stitcher Radio. Show notes are available at williambeem.com/episode9.

Let’s get into inspiration. It’s a topic I hear people talking a lot about today. They bring it up as, “I’m going to inspire you. I’m going to give you these wonderful ideas for your own creativity.” And honestly, inspiration is a topic that annoys me, just for that reason.

I want inspiration to be a surprise. I never, ever want someone to tell me they are going to inspire me, because honestly they don’t. If they are going to show me something inspirational, it seems presumptuous. It’s like, I’ve created this. It’s going to inspire you. Well, the truth is you don’t know what’s going to inspire me; I don’t know what’s going to inspire you. Inspiration really is a surprise.

What happens to me, you know, if they show me their pride and joy and I really just don’t care about it? I look at it and it’s nice and all that, but I’m not moved, I’m not inspired and I don’t hate it, but I also don’t like it. Am I supposed to act like I’m inspired? Is the burden on me now? Is this just another way of trolling for a compliment? I don’t know, but here’s the way it breaks down for me.

PHOTO FLUNKY: Episode 8

I’m your host, William Beem. Welcome to the Photo Flunky Show, Episode number eight.

Today’s topic: Lightroom Organization – You’re Doing It Wrong!

Thanks for joining the Photo Flunky Show. You can find us at photoflunky.com. Also now available on iTunes and Stitcher Radio. There are links at photoflunky.com. Show notes are available at williambeem.com/episode8.

Today, let’s talk about Lightroom organization, and there are really two main things that you want from organizing your photos in Lightroom. This is not going to delve into any of the post processing, book creation maps or any of that stuff. All this is about today is organization and all you really want, the benefits from organization, is to save time and find the photos that you want when you want them. It sounds simple. It’s what everybody needs when you’re busy working on something. You don’t want to have to fight your organization system; you want it to work for you.

So let’s start off with some of the classic organization mistakes that people make with Lightroom.

Keep in mind that Lightroom was designed to organize your photos. I know that sounds like a redundant concept to talk about, but sometimes there are people who just don’t trust Lightroom. They don’t want to let it do what it was designed to do and they try to override it with their own techniques and force that upon Lightroom and honestly, that’s usually what gets them into a lot of trouble. Lightroom knows how to extract data from your image files. You don’t need to duplicate the effort.

Here are some of the mistakes that people make.

* They create elaborate folder structures. You don’t need a big, elaborate folder structure.

* They use dates in the file name or folder.
