I met the Walker’s photographer @bobbyrogers_ last week to see about doing some shooting for them, and I came away with two main inspirations. Number one, is that Bobby is a really, really great guy, and simply put, he’s quite inspiring. We had one of those constant flow of conversation conversations, and it was just cool to sit down with another photographer and talk a bit about life, and a bit about photography, and to be inspired by how gracious, and how hard working this man is. He not only is working full-time for the @walkerartcenter, but he’s doing on his own work before and after the time he puts in for them. It’s cool to see someone so passionate about photography. (More inspiration!) Secondly, he inspired me to get back to posting on the @instagram more consistently. He told me how he initially interacted with it and how it has been helping him, which was cool to hear... I think I got burnt out trying to play the insta-game, comparing myself to all of this amazing photography and likes and followers and after having so much fun with it for so long, I kind of just tapped out. Trying to manage “posting good content” on two accounts lead to just not wanting to post at all. It didn’t help I took over 1200 photos of @rae_marie_phoenix at the Minnesota State Fair to try and finish off the #30daysofRae over at @jaymehalbritter... which has become this mountain that I swear I’m going to climb! (Three more posts to go!!!) I’ve been super busy with work which is great, and then looking at that mountain 🏔 it’s been easy to put it off but the time has come to start climbing. 🧗♂️🙃 I don’t think I’ve ever used the word inspiration so much, but thanks for giving me some Bobby, and here’s to getting back to having fun with this little app I have loved so much. ❤️ #whatsyourmountain? . . . . . #sketch #modern #contemporaryart #painting #ink #sculpture #draw #fineart #creative #abstractart #streetart #artgallery #instaart #modernart #arte #contemporary #paint #concept #sketchbook #capturemn #igersminnesota #minnstagrammers #captureminneapolis #minnesotalife #chooseminnesota #iphoneography #iphoneonly #iphonesia (at Walker Art Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6LZCGNFCqW/?igshid=fos35fp81d3j
