I don’t take a lot of photos. Certainly not everyday, and sometimes it feels like I’m actively avoiding doing so. Mainly I’m responding to the way things look in my immediate surroundings.

It is this issue of core versus experience. The core isn’t enough to be able to take great photographs – it is 50 something years of building on an aesthetic – you learn from this aesthetic. It helps you to create other aesthetics. If you don’t do the work, then you don’t go anywhere.
We are re-running this conversation from 2023. Enjoy! My time talking with Carolyn Drake was a fever dream in the best possible way. Talking with artists who inspire you and make you want to work harder can be very intimidating. I know I was extremely nervous when we started our conversation. But Carolyn had this way

I have always found moments of frustration with photography and the desire to come at things from another angle.

Posing another question for you: I would wonder if/how you experience similar frustrations and how you handle them?

I Hope Adobe Can Overcome Some Photographers’ Vitriol | PetaPixel:
The response to the podcast was immediate — so fast that it isn’t even possible that a majority of those who left comments and hit the dislike button could have listened to the whole podcast. Simply for setting foot in Adobe’s building, we were called shills as the hate flowed in. It feels very much like a “shoot the messenger” situation — one I’ve been in before, but that doesn’t make it any easier to come to terms with.
