The road to nowhere

This week's podcast takes a deeper dive into the question we discussed last week about facing difficult times in your creative process. I think everyone gets stuck sometimes and ends up in a dark place when creating. There are times when you have to take photographs because the bills depend on them being made, but even then, those photographs can be hard to make. You have a voice in your head telling you that things are hard, can't be done, and you just aren't feeling it. At times you feel like you are on the road to nowhere. When that happens, what is a photographer to do? In this episode, I try to talk about some of my feelings when this happens and what I focus on to help with the process. I also talk about how focusing on the measure of photography, reasons for photographing and the power of feeling lost in the dark has as you turn the corner on your process — learning that being nowhere can help you find what is inside your own voice and show you that you are better today because of what you did yesterday.
