Give Yourself Permission To Slow Down f/71

The Stop Down Photography Podcast

While working through some photos taken a few years ago at Long Pond on Mount Desert Island in Maine, I realized how little I explored that area. The photos I have are nice, they are of good quality. Yet my repeated visits to this pond did not push me artistically. I stopped to reflect on why that was.

I think it is because I didn’t give myself permission to spend time at the location, explore the area, think about additional photos that might not be the “killer landscape” image. And that is so critical for artistic growth. Embarking on experiments for the sheer purpose of learning and growing. I share more thoughts in today’s episode.

Also, I am adding an additional workshop to the 2021 calendar. The Oregon Coastal Adventure in November 2021. Check the workshops page on my main website for details. The workshop will open for public registration very soon. More details in the podcast.
