I LOVE what I do SO MUCH, that I never feel like I need a day off.
But it’s been a very busy year... I travelled to Europe at least once every month, I taught 12 group photo workshops and some private ones, I’m still hosting my photography podcast Hit The Streets (just released episode 149). I taught 8 online classes and did a number of private critique sessions and portfolio reviews and, last but not least: I published 3 books!
I finished my last workshop of the year just last week, in New York City. It was awesome. Sharing my passion and vision with others always makes me so happy. Now I am taking a break from traveling for a few weeks in order to prepare for the 2020 photo adventures, kicking off the year in January with a Paris workshop. I scheduled some book signing events in December as well as several recordings for the podcast. I was about to sign a new book contract with a publisher before the end of the year and decided against it. It will have to wait until 2020. It was a hard decision but the last thing I need right now is the extra pressure of a deadline.
I am super excited to start shooting a new personal photography project with musicians. Something light and fun, a way to feed my artist soul during the long Minnesota winter.
So basically I am trying to do something I never do: To slow down for a few weeks… Can I do it?
We will see how that goes…
