What the heck is this week's podcast about?

In this episode of the Perceptive Photographer podcast, I dig into how we go about dealing with mistakes and unexpected outcomes in our creative process. The topic came to mind in thinking about why sometimes bad things happen in my process, and yet, other times it is just a "happy accident." I wondered how much of that was my reactions to the errors verse the errors themselves.

I started to emphasize in my own work the importance how I frame and reframing expectations and seeing mistakes as opportunities for growth rather than failures. So in this podcast, I encourage you to try out a mindset of exploration and learning, reminding yourself that creativity is about the journey, not just the "perfect" end product.

Don't forget that I got a bunch of upcoming workshops, including the Photoshop Virtual Summit and my own sessions on inspiration and printing.

Also, don’t forget to check out the upcoming workshops if you want to deepen your understanding and skills in your work.
