#527 - Is Your Photography Good Enough?
Manage episode 485705292 series 2467557
In this episode Gerry tackles the toxic mindset that's plaguing photography communities everywhere: measuring creative worth by external validation instead of personal fulfillment. He explore what "good enough" actually means, why photography was never meant to be a competition, and how social media has warped our relationship with our own work.
Too many talented photographers are ready to quit because they haven't won awards or been published, as if these are the only metrics that matter. If you've ever questioned whether your photography matters because you haven't received recognition from strangers, this conversation will challenge you to rediscover why you picked up a camera in the first place.
