Thinking about how we get burn out in our work.

Many don't think they are very creative, but they absolutely can be.

We get caught up in all this photography stuff. There is so much to do! Listen to learn the most important thing we should be doing in photography. Hint: it’s something we put off a lot.

“M” started the project, “Faces of Fortitude”. It made me appreciate the fact that her photography is really a by-product of her helping people. What an inspiration.

I’m not afraid of the dark as I once once was. I have learned to appreciate the darkness and shadows as much as light in my photography. This week, the podcast is short, but full of interesting thoughts on light and shadows…it’s something to think about.

This week I talk about art (your photography) and its purpose…its job.

We always ask questions before we take the shot…but are we asking the important ones?

I heard a great story this week that I had to share. It’s about pushing yourself, especially in the shadow of a problem. It’s a short episode that will get you to thinking about your own work, and how you might react in adversity.

Be:

Specific

Measurable

Achievable

Relevant

Timely

Thinking SMART about your project can guide you to a focused final product that will help your viewers understand your idea more fully. It also helps you know when you are straying from your original plan.

The big question? What do I take pictures of?
