The Bluejacket Creative

Wrapping up the week here, and I want to share something with you that I’ve started doing this week that I think has positively affected my outlook, no matter how kooky it sounds.

Yesterday I told you that as creators, I think that social media is becoming our worst enemy due to the weaponization of the platforms for engagement and the appropriation of content by aggregators and other entities for their use and engagement. As such, I suggested that there might be a way to reassert control over your creative assets, and that’s what I want to talk about today.

So, today on the show I'm going to go over some ground that I've seen trod upon many times already, but I'm not really sure side I fall on. The question is whether or not instagram is good for photographers.

Today I want to talk to some specific friends who I won't name, but I'm fairly sure that this will apply to way more of just them.

It might just be the time of year, but I find myself getting discouraged easily. It’s compounded by the fact that we’re coming up on a year since my job sent me home and everything that’s happened since then...

Is there an hour a day that you've been pretty much screwing off instead of doing your creative work?

Moving forward has been on my mind lately, to be truthful. In my case, moving forward means I'm leaving things I used to do behind.

As we close out the month of January, Here's what I hope you've managed to do, and trust me when I tell you this is just as much for me as it is for you.

I have found a bag that works for me, and it's the Rugged Sling Bag by Moment.
