Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well.
Last week was an interesting one for me. Highs and lows would sum it up best. I went into the week with great expectations as I returned to North Wales to work on Slate City.
The trip definitely didn’t go as planned, though, and I ended up cutting it short. I spent the next couple of days feeling pretty unmotivated and dissatisfied, only to wrap up the week with a great day of photography down on the south coast of England.
In this issue today, I want to share the details with you as well as an important reminder that I took away from it all. It seemed best to do this as a voice note.
Also, for those who don’t listen to this today, I want to mention that I’m launching a new photo community. Details are below.
Here are a few images from a day out at the seaside last week:
Launching A New Photo Community
I’m very excited to announce the launch of a new photo community created by myself and Noah Waldeck from Subjectively Objective (the publisher of my book).
For the past few months, we’ve been discussing the idea of creating some sort of community to bring together like-minded photographers who are looking for an online space to have deeper discussions about the craft. A place that is more than images, likes, and short comments. A place where you can find support, ideas, information, and connections.
So, we decided to create the ‘Subjectively Objective Photo Community’, using Discord as our platform.
The community has several channels, including a place to share current projects, seek critique, share recent inspiration and images, and talk about publishing, business, gear, audience building and more. We’ll also be doing a monthly Q&A.
This is just the start, and we’re excited to see how this develops and expands moving forward!
If this sounds like something that you’re interested in, you can join us here.
*Just to note, this is a free community. There’s no membership/monthly fee or anything like that.
*In the audio version of this newsletter, I spoke about a YouTube video I watched last week that I found really helpful, and I said I’d post a link to it here. Well, for whatever reason, I can’t find it in my history or remember its exact title.
I’ll do some digging and post it in next week’s issue.
Last but not least, if you missed it, I posted a new video on my YouTube channel last week, all about my favourite 35mm camera, the Contax RTSII. You can check that out here.
Anyway, that’s it for this one. I hope you enjoyed it. And as always, thanks for listening and reading!
