This. After a loved one died i realized that we both had a similar casual hobby of artistic photography so there were tons of beautiful pictures of places and things but without them in it... none of them mattered.

In the end it was the selfiies, group pics, tagged pics others took and shared, and action pics and videos, which were hard to find, that our family and friends wanted the most.

I've since started to make sure to include the human aspect including myself into way more pictures.

Yes lmao

But seriously - the big reason most people don't make art is because they are afraid of the vulnerability of making something that is going to be judged by others. It's a very vulnerable thing to create something, so every artist, no matter how long they've been making art, has some level of anxiety or insecurity about sharing their art. The only difference between an experienced artist and a newer one is that the experienced artist has slightly thicker skin and more confidence in the value of their own work.

While interpersonal skills are important, you’re likely underestimating how much of an impact things other than your “personality” had on those hiring decisions.

This is how unconscious bias is perpetuated into a hiring decision and how some companies (eg in tech) are so full of the same people (white dudes).

As a hiring manager myself, I have to be extremely mindful that “rapport” will be higher with people like me, because that’s how people are. But I don’t want to hire a bunch of nateorades. I want to hire a team with diverse experiences that will be effective at working together and getting the job done.

TRUTH!! I had a very dear friend who was a photographer but hated having his photograph taken.

I had no idea his family had almost no photographs of him until one day they reached out to me and requested permission to use a photograph I had taken of him at the workshop I was hosting. The photograph was the last frame on a roll of Ilford Delta 400 and I snapped it just because.
