As a "professional" (I use the term loosely), it takes some mental preparation to create something...and videotape myself creating that something...and be okay with letting others see a process that might not lead to something I'm happy with.

Here is my Monday video for this week! www.promotingpassion.com/shooting-with-instant-film/

I try to show that kind of vulnerability every week when I release my Monday videos. Every week I try to do something a little different or weird for the sake of these two outcomes:

1. Being an Artist is not about creating perfection. It is about creating, period. Trying. Failing. Innovation. Trailblazing. So, every week, I strive to be an Artist, not a Professional.

2. I want to show that you can have a career as an Artist and also not know what you're doing sometimes. It is okay to play. If we don't, we won't progress. So, every week, I'm taking you into my play-process.

This week I shot some self-portraits with my little Instax Mini camera. It was a totally new experience for me. I don't know how I feel about the final result, but truth be told, I don't really care. That's not the point. I hope you'll take a look at the video I made this week and, if you want to fulfill my hope - go out and try something you've never tried before.
