    Great talk 👍
    “Always carry a camera” is definitely the best way for me to be able to do photography within the life puzzle.
    Also allow yourself to not shoot when not feeling it. If you don’t enjoy it or get paid, just enjoy the moment instead. But have a camera with you in case you change your mind.

    This video was honestly so inspiring. I’m in college currently and have been in a major rut with photography feeling I have no time to do it as I’m studying to be a pharmacist. But your simple recommendation of bringing the camera everywhere took me back to 13 year old me that just got into photography and had that camera attached at her hip… truly thank you🥰 I’m going to work on bringing it more places again

    • @OneMonthTwoCameras
      @OneMonthTwoCameras  3 месяца назад +1

      Yay Sophia! It's funny how just the act of carrying the camera can help you notice and capture things that might have blended into the scenery of the day to day otherwise.

    I love when you leave in vignettes of your daughters interrupting you. It’s a beautiful reminder of the importance and priority of close relationships over work or stuff. It reminds me a lot of gentle parenting techniques which I’m sure you’re not a stranger to. It begs the question, what sources of wisdom on parenting do you recommend? My wife and I have a 13 month old daughter whom we adore and watching your daughters in your videos has me excited for when she’s the same age.

    So good. The minimalism part really hits home for me, especially as a busy parent. Reducing clutter in my home-like tackling constant laundry or organizing messy areas-frees up my attention. This way, I can focus that attention on less tedious and meaningless things.

    Anyone who references The Artist's Way (my go to when I'm stuck) and transcendental meditation in one video gets my full attention! I've been writing morning pages for a very long time .... 3 pages daily. Makes a huge difference in my day. The best thing I learned over the years is find that time alone, even if just 5 minutes and feed yourself art, talk about it or write about it...then ALLOW, ALLOW, ALLOW. Let it percolate, give it tons of attention as often as possible. Live inside your inspiration bubble and don't let anyone else in. Jealously cultivate it and it will gift you in spades. Thank you for this!

    Another question. I’ve been trying to start a channel for almost a year now since discovering yours. I loved your advice to just begin with what I have, which is an iPhone 13 and an iPad Pro. I’ve started a handful of videos but just can’t seem to make it through until the end. I lose motivation. Either the editing software is frustrating me (I’m brand spanking new to video editing), or I don’t like the direction the video is going in, or I wonder if the video really matters to be made. Do you have advice on how to over come this?
