Just keep making and finishing and sharing projects. You don’t know what’s going to be a hit or a flop til it’s out there and then it doesn’t matter if it’s a huge success or not (except for possibly influencing future projects off of successes), but if you don’t share it, no one else will be able to see it.

Who is the creative? Who is the rights holder? Who made this image? If a model and a photographer both weren’t there, minus the self-portrait model, how would the image exist. If the photographer were not there, technically the image would not exist. Let’s take a real life example of…

…without a black Friday newsletter! So here’s one from me about what I’ve been up to lately. This month is NaNoWriMo! That means I’ve dedicated myself to writing ever day, this month an am currently 42,000 words in and counting! …

In the final month of editing, perfecting, rearranging, and even writing some more (eek!) in my newest book in the collection, Exhale,I found myself wanting to run through Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor again. I requested it as an audiobook after searching through all…
