Description

Hey everyone, for today's solo episode, I wanted to talk about what I think is one of the most important skills you can have as a photographer—that is patience.
Nowadays, more than ever, it can be easy to feel the need to constantly be creating and sharing work, but in doing so, you can easily miss out on ideas and opportunities that present themselves when you take a slower approach.
Recently, I spent the last month making a bunch of duds... basically creating images that either didn't live up to my expectations or were just plain out bad. But those 'outtakes' are important, and they're often where you find little hints that lead you in new directions. It was a great reminder to me about how important it is to stay curious, and not beat yourself up if you're not always creating 'winners'.
I figured it'd be a great topic to discuss for today's episode. I hope you enjoy it and that it gets some ideas rolling.
Also, if you're interested in signing up for my 'Field Notes'—which is a bi-weekly email series that touches on more topics like this one—you can do that here: http://eepurl.com/hfQ9jz. 
As always, I'd love to hear from you, so shoot me some feedback or suggestions for episodes moving forward. 
Cheers!

Hosted by Kyle McDougall, The Contact Sheet is a photography podcast born out of a desire to connect with other artists to explore their work and approach as well as the realities that come with the pursuit of a craft (a.k.a the peaks and the valleys). While the show does focus largely on the world of film photography, it's not limited to it.
