On Jan. 20, 2022, I got to rap about my creative journey with my newfound brethren. Jake Feinberg is a music journalist with an inexhaustible muse: what bonds the soul with tunes and who are the cats, as he’s dubbed them, that keep the fire blazing.
We share a day job now and bonded immediately over the elements that grow iconoclasts and outliers. I’m not a musician, but my poetic output places me akin to the, “dreamers of the dreams.”
This is the full rap session. Lots of topics and journeys and insights. More importantly, lots of love. Let’s get it!
Until next time, I’ll see you in the streets.

Snow in Tucson; and in March?! Dude, no way. But here we are. March 1, 2023 marked a wild and rare day of snow, which started around 10 p.m. MST. I knew it was a golden opportunity to make photos with blessed weather like this. And it was the perfect time to test out the iPhone 14 Pro. When you use the RAW camera option, your images will be rendered on a 48 MP sensor. That almost twice the size of the Sony A7 III sensor. So let's explore the medium format options with a camera that fits in your back pocket. Until next time, I'll see you in the streets. Full review of the 14 Pro coming soon. Follow for more!

What’s the difference between a success photographer and someone who misses the mark? I’d say the photography game, like any pursuit, is about suiting up. Show up for your art. That’s more than 90 percent of the resistance battle. Executing and making mistakes then taking your error lessons to the next project in order to secure a bigger win. Isn’t funny how a sleepy early morning error can remind us what’s most important as a creative. Make sure to let me know your cornerstone to your success and happiness.

How many award-winning photos can you produce in half a day, every hour on the nose? Well, on Saturday, March 4 you’ll get to see what I can pull off.
The Vancouver Street Photography Collective is hosting a community photog event — I can't wait. The Van-SPC outing is modeled around The 24 Hour Project, an annual affair where global photographers document their current locale to raise awareness for social and economic justice. My Vancouver peeps flipped the rules a bit, allowing shutterbugs to choose a 12-hour window to produce on the day of March 4th. This event requires a $5 donation registration and all proceeds earned from the occasion will fund the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre, a non-profit organization that provides meals, counseling and advocacy to nurture and empower members. In anticipation of this phenomenal time on the streets it’s time to talk about speed. How fast can you make a body of work; what editing techniques and micro-content strategies are you using to increase production; are you investigating how to best use artificial intelligence to increase output and manage your time more efficiently?
Here's a link to register for the Van-SPC event.

'If this photo habit of mine is not bringing in money, can I rationalize spending dozens of hours every week in search of the best frame my current city can offer?' This is a sample of my inner monologue, when I’m experiencing, 'resistance' defined as, 'any act that rejects immediate gratification in favor of long-term growth, health, or integrity. Or, expressed another way, any act that derives from our higher nature instead of our lower.' Steve Pressfield’s book ‘The War of Art’ brought the clearest definition of a phenomena all creative people feel and have to negotiate at some point in their careers.
And last week, the resistance I experienced, and thankfully conquered due to the support of my loving partner, was overpowering. Thus, it felt like an appropriate time to talk over impostor syndrome, highlighting three tips I have to escape the storm with grace.

Imagine being able to shake your own hand 20, 30 or 45 years ago. What's the most salient advice you'd implore you to take seriously? I've been thinking about time as the year starts off, especially as someone who stills Father Time on a daily basis. This isn't a regret mode I'm in. But knowing that we have wisdom as an older bloke that could have saved us some lumps along the way is an important reflexive exercise. What have we gained by chasing dreams; who would we have added/subtracted from our inner circle; when could we have put love first and stuffed our ego away?
Until next time I'll see you in the streets.

It’s been almost three years since I started pursuing street photography as a way to earn a living and grow my brand. I have zero regrets about making this artistic expression my cornerstone. Along the way I’ve met a tremendously talented and supportive group of creators across the globe, New York City to Tehran. My images of Tucson and Southern Arizona have seen more cities than I have, as my work continues to etch a space in galleries from Rome to Glasgow. With any professional voyage of discovery, as we develop what we want our legacy to look like we learn lessons. Via struggle and playfulness and consistency, I’ve grasped three salient rules that only an obsessive schedule of street image-making can provide.

It's a new year and it's time to improve. So what's your plan? I have habits to break and other routines that need bolstering. I'm reading James Clear's 'Atomic Habits' and wanted to start a convo about self development as 2023 arrives. You can expect more episodes based on the knowledge I'll gain, then share, as I shimmy through Clear's book.
I'd like to thank every listener for your support in 2022. Thanks for being part of my journey.

When you read the headlines recently, or since the NFT boon, this world is supposedly crumbling, far too risky and overrun by thieves. Sure, you’ll run into some creeps if you dive into the culture. However, the art/creative world outside of the pixels on your screen is no cakewalk either. While I’ve been buying and trading NFTs for about two years, I thought becoming part of this marketplace wasn’t a good fit until a month ago. I’m thrilled to have taken the plunge.

Creating cinematic video with an iPhone or a mobile device takes a few simple steps. Although shooting video is a new language that I’m teaching myself it’s a ton of fun challenging my creative eye. So far, I haven’t invested much into equipment. Obviously, since we’re talking about video work with a mobile device. But I’m keeping it simple as I grow into the knowledge and my style.

All of our photos can’t turn out great. Having a mediocre day of creating is very commonplace, come to think of it, no matter what we construct from art to textiles. Then, us creatives have those wonderful days where everything clicks—no pun intended photogs. That place athletes call, “The zone.” Overall, the market/audience will tell us what’s hitting and what’s not making an impact. So I’d like to share my insight into the absolute worst thing you can do after a mediocre day behind the lens. And how my week recently played out reminded me what NOT to do on a passable kind of day. Click HERE to check out my genesis NFT street photo collection made in Nogales, AZ y Sonora, Mexico.

Like most creatives, I’m my own worst critic. So, yes, I’m further along in my creative career than I can see—that place where my lens and pen will jetty me around the globe. But I sure do wish I knew how important consistency was 5 years ago. I would have started my journey while at university come to think of it. My epiphany about building my own brand struck a little over 2 years ago. And the importance of being consistent tapped me on the shoulder during a conversation I had on social media this week.

No one has extra time. As we climb the ladder of success, we gain additional accolades and concurrently ante up our responsibilities. When it comes to being a creative, thinking ahead in order to repurpose an original piece is essential. Thus, I wanted to share my current workflow and explain how it’s expanding my opportunities to mold my art for multiple social media platforms and outlets.

Making photos in the same setting day in and day out is boring. Offering that stereotypical southwest background, or the NYC vibe at a curbside cafe gets old for everyone. So I wanted to offer some insight into how I just landed a great spot to shoot a scene for a short film I’m making in Bisbee come October. But this pro-tip isn’t just for someone who’s scouting spots for a short film.

Street photography is one of the most rewarding and difficult genres of image making in the world. Fortunately, the cost of entry is practically free, especially if you live in a busy city or a town big enough to host a few skyscrapers. All you really have to do is walk out your front door. While I’m an advocate for making photos with what’s most readily available, for most people that means taking photos with a mobile phone, but in this podcast I want to sing the praises for my go-to, inexpensive pocket street photography cornerstone.

“A Photograph Isn’t Finished Until It’s a Print,” says a time-tested photography adage. And in today’s digital world, I couldn’t agree more.
Bro, you’re promoting printing photo work in 2022?
Ok, Boomer.
But all jokes aside, printing my photography is an essential part of my process. In fact, in less than a week, I’ll launch my first set of high quality, full colour postcards. The image is a moody, blood-red Halloween scene I captured in Dunbar Spring, Tucson. Halloween is my favorite time of year, so I wanted to commemorate this captivating season as well as this beautiful barrio that I call home. More important is the process of printing.

Rules stink! We’re inundated with them as creators, or as adults in general, right? So adhering to creative rules is a drag. However, I do have one rule for street photography that I never break. Drop me a comment if you do too.
