The Role of Self-Acceptance in Your Creative Journey

In today’s episode, I dive deep into the impacts of acceptance in our creative practices. It’s all about being honest with ourselves, setting realistic expectations, and understanding outu that might impact our photographic progress and relationship to photography. After sharing a little about some workshops coming up, I try to discuss why it is important to appreciate and value what we create, and how respecting our work—and that of others—can make a huge difference–particularly when we are feeling a little less than motivated. By focusing our current state of mind, staying present, and avoiding that harsh self-criticism we can often end up being more connected to our work. “Those little photographs that we make that seem trivial and don’t seem important in our own psychology sometimes are, in fact, very significant and important.” One of the questions I get asked frequently is what sort of equipment do I use to record my podcast. I have used a variety of equipment in the years that I have been recording, but here is the current list of equipment that I am using.
