This is such a good idea. I use ig as my work board but I’d be terribly happy to move it out here. I agree it would work out bettter. Only caveat- I have a whole network of editors and peers whose opinions matter to me and they’re not here, yet
I'm amazed, as usual, by your knowledge & perception. Another thought provoking yet enjoyable article. I'm definitely taking the need to use the delete button on board - in all aspects of my life!
Ok, first of all, I have read “Art and Fear” more times than I can count and I had no idea about Jerry Uelsmann being the instructor. That certainly puts a different light on this whole story.
Also, I had no idea about your WIP project and I am amazed at your dedication and consistency. I will certainly check it out.
Thank you for sharing these thoughts with us and your images!
There us a fundamental element in this “versus” discussion. If you are not producing, then you are not what you say you are. Also production matches income (hopefully). The word “dilitante” hovers around unsaid in this subject. Observing newspaper photographers through mist of my life, I was never surprised at their ability to lead or be directed.
These are all good points and subjecting all creativity to market forces would likely remove most of the dross. Yes, dilettante is the right word for much of what I do, but I grew up in an era of zines and internet blogs so it still seems natural to me.
I missed you and your newsletter here. And I understand the dilemma of quantity vs. quality. I never thought that you fall into the category of quantity though. I wish, I would see you sharing this section of your newsletter more often..
Thank you Susanne. Fingers crossed I'll get back to a more regular schedule but its easy to burn out when one adds a lot of extra commiments. That said, having a self-imposed deadline makes a massive difference to actually getting something done.
Love this WIP

Thank you Manuela! Art and Fear looks great. It has inspired me to read it properly.
I did NOT accuse you of being a dilitante, you are far too far down the line for that and there’s probably no return. Struggle is next.
Ahhhhh .... oh dear.

Yeah, I totally get that. Take your time. In the end the newsletter should be something you enjoy doing.
Yes! I always enjoy having done it, but don't like the moment before clicking publish.
oh, I completely understand that! Sitting in the same boat…
