I have heard, more times than I can count, that inspiration is a magic gift from the beyond that moves and shakes up to create amazing things. I am on the other end of the spectrum where I think inspiration comes from the work. What we might think of as a eureka idea actually has been there all along we just haven’t been listening closely enough.

In that work of inspiration, I have realized how much the process that I am following will contribute to my sense of being inspired. Doesn’t matter if it is analog or digital, print or projection, the process that allows me to get what I want out of my images is important to my sense of seeing, telling, and sharing.

In this week’s podcast, I talk about how the things we create and are inspired to create are often a result of the process we follow both behind the camera and in the editing.

As always, I hope you and yours are safe, and please remember to keep safe and wear your mask.

The reason does matter
