S3 - Ep1 My Personal Journey (on Creativity, Compassion, Courage, and Commitment)
Manage episode 428831668 series 3331241
In early 2024, I delivered a keynote at a photography workshop in Morocco, a talk that has become one of my favorites, especially in a time when the world needs more wisdom and less frivolity.
Reflecting on my unconventional journey, I discussed what I believe to be the four cornerstones of art: Creativity, Compassion, Courage, and Commitment:
- Creativity thrives with risk, pushing beyond the average to deliver unexpected art.
- Compassion grounds our work in humanity, making our photographs a testament to people’s envisioned futures, answering fundamental questions about identity and value.
- Courage involves embracing imposter syndrome, daring to create beyond the familiar throughpersonal projects. Artists, unlike artisans, deliver the unexpected, pushing boundaries with emotional labor.
- Commitment means embracing failure and persistence. Ultimately, success combines good work, kindness, and a touch of luck, leading to unexpected journeys and achievements.
