https://comercialfuentes.com/9wd5s29xx I returned from a photography conference a week ago. The conference was all that I had expected, and more. The workshops were on presentation techniques and the creation of fine art pieces. There was a printing symposium and narratives from photographers who set their focus on long-term creative goals and who, after years of planning and work, realized completed art. There were gallery walks, visiting photography galleries in the Loop. And a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Photography – cutting edge works of photographic based art.

During my first week back home, I thought about the workshops, re-copied some of my illegible notes, checked out websites and blogs from several recommended lists from various workshop leaders. I began to dream of big projects, new paths to follow, finished photography projects that were all shiny and new and so promising.

There was an art festival to get ready for – check inventory, make out orders for frame parts and glass, print some of my newer photographs for framing. There was Hurricane Sandy to keep an eye on, keeping a long distance watch on my people on the East Coast and inland.

Buy Zolpidem Europe Except. I am not going to relegate the thrill of the new to a week of living it, and then a week of dreaming about it. If I want to keep the new ideas awake in my head, if I want to try some new creative techniques, if I want to start a long-term project with a completion date, then I need to schedule time on a consistent basis.

  1. https://overflowdata.com/uncategorized/cqdex5iua4z Love this image, Bo. 🙂
    The follow-through, the beginning, always seems to be the hardest (as your quote mentions). Scheduling it is a brilliant idea.

  2. https://proventsystems.com/wtflkv4y5cy Gorgeous image!!! Love the way you caused the Oak leaves to stand out against the silver background. The image shimmers.
    The conference you went to sounds great. I seldom go to photo conferences because I leave disappointed, not having learned much. But, I like the focus your’s had. Could you tell me what conference it was?
    Good for you in scheduling time to work on what you learned. Hard to do, but so important.

      go to site I went to the Filter Photo Festival in Chicago in mid October. It’s an annual conference, workshops all week, evening sessions, portfolio reviews on the weekend. An experience well worth me stepping out of my comfort zone! 🙂
