Instagram post 2178702225187521289_26615836 So tired! Moving in two days!
Instagram post 2175698137516566784_26615836 Thanks for a great brainstorm session over coffee @shanefish2000. I’m energized as heck. And I got a tour of @creativeclaystpete, met a new friend Artemisa (could her parents have known she’d become an artist?), and fell in love with this cutout collaboration by Alli Arnold and Dalmary Rosa.
Instagram post 2167651760169323306_26615836 The rest of this is in the story sorry I don’t have time to post them all! Crunch time! masterclass.photoxo.net
Instagram post 2167078179618215635_26615836 Super excited for tonight—no parties or giving out candy for me this year. Instead I’m going to connect with 🌌 during @erynj_ ‘s Samhain breathwork group. I’m grateful for so much growth and change this year and ready for what the new year (starting tomorrow) brings.
Instagram post 2161132073315160404_26615836 Oh yeah and I often forget where I’ve announced what so hey why not sign up to get emails because here are some exciting things I’m cooking up: another live online masterclass on 11/1, studio sale (!), Patreon-only essays and hangouts, working on some photo essays to pitch to journals, planning two classes, this year’s Christmas card release, and 🎙 a podcast! If you’re not on my email list yet, may I suggest taking advantage of the Year of Positive Mementos on my website! If you’re into the stuff above then you’ll be into it. #stpetesupportsher
Instagram post 2161128310042976305_26615836 We’re inching closer to Christmas but y’all know once 🎃 is over it’s more like blink and it’s here. This is a reminder that if you’re looking for *the perfect gift* (one of my client’s exact words!), consider doing something around your family photo memories. I can help you create a specific project (book or video, for instance), or archive and safeguard your entire collection—what a gift that is for the entire family and one that will last for decades! I also have a couple of online video courses that might suit you better. AND don’t forget for you art lovers I offer vintage photos as fine art prints and Christmas cards (available for preorder soon) over at @thepicurious Everything is in my bio link! Let’s start today! #stpetesupportsher
Instagram post 2156032483826006887_26615836 I haven’t gotten much down time since last Wednesday so I’m taking some good garden time today.
Instagram post 2154672824108115148_26615836 Will you need a closed-door break from work tomorrow, Tues 10/15 at 3 pm EST for continuing education??? Join me for a live masterclass that apparently I haven’t offered for 3 years! I’ll email the meeting link tomorrow—sign up via bio link, second option. Span time with meeeeeee!
Instagram post 2146840110898150064_26615836 I’ve wanted to play this game for a while. Roland Barthes wrote in Camera Lucida that what he called the punctum is what makes photography unique among the arts. ‘The punctum of a photograph is that accident which pricks me (but also bruises me, is poignant to me).’ What’s your punctum in this picture? From my collection. . . . . . #foundimages #analog #photography #foundphoto #scannedslide #scannedphoto #scannedimage #oldphotosnewlife #barthes #punctum
Instagram post 2145881483777593021_26615836 Back on my bullshit, collecting artifacts of past media. This was at the beginning of a professionally copied VHS tape that I digitized recently. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ VHS tapes degrade with age so NOW is the best time to take care of them. They may not be mint now, but their condition will only get worse if you wait. They'll never be as good as they are right this moment. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Let's do it!
Instagram post 2145317026802340222_26615836 I'm in the process of captioning all of the videos on my website 😂 out of context they are very funny. This is from my Lifting the Fog on the Cloud chat which is available as one of the Free Gifts in the bio link above. It will take you to the front page of my website just scroll down until you see the pretty sky picture and I'll email you the link right away. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What does it really mean for your photos to be stored in "the Cloud"? In this post & video I clear up some misconceptions and give you advice to make sure you don't get caught in a storm.
Instagram post 2143720409586218191_26615836 I took a day off from all computers/phones/internet yesterday. So here is my final gratitude post for this round! It's about ~learning when to pull back~ lol⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Two posts ago I posted about getting so excited about something and letting that impulse drive sometimes. But it's even more important that I'm learning that just *because* something excites me doesn't mean I should pursue it. Anything exciting and new has the potential to take attention from my metaphorical garden (I'm talking about my business here) to my own detriment.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I'm a born problem solver and I love to help when I can. But this year I had to learn that just because I can help doesn't mean it's in my best interests to. Early in the year I volunteered for something in the moment and I convinced myself that it might actually be *good* for business even though it had literally nothing to do with my work. I had a reality check just in time to apologetically back out. I hated to do it! But it was necessary to be able to accomplish some of the other things I did this year like updating my pricing structure across the board, finish my new course Worth A Thousand Words, and add all of the free content (10 distinct things!) that's available on my website. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I'm slowly learning that just because I don't go into an office for 8 hours a day doesn't mean that my time is unoccupied or infinitely available. And I have the added bonus of knowing now that I am truly minding (like tending) my own business.
