Why Photography?

This episode discusses Vell's reason for picking up a camera and becoming a full-time creative. The Good Read for this episode is The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin.Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can hone in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, as he has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn’t, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output. It’s about your relationship with the world. Creativity has a place in everyone’s life, and everyone can make that place larger. There are a few more important responsibilities.The Creative Act is a beautiful and generous course of study that illuminates the artist's path as a road we all can follow. It distills the wisdom gleaned from a lifetime’s work into a luminous reading experience that brings the power to create moments—and lifetimes—of exhilaration and transcendence closer to everyone.What's Popping in Vell's World includes League Stats To Be Integrated Into the MLB Record Book, Women’s Basketball Is Thriving and the WNBA Is Ready to Shine, Orlando’s Business Journal’s 40 Under 40, and more.Follow on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @VellsWorldPodcast.Email [email protected] with any comments, questions, or concerns you want to mention in our upcoming episodes.
