Leanne, this newsletter really resonates with me. I’m also an AP user, trying to put together zines. Wishing you luck with your project. On objectivity of your work: I just took part in a workshop with a well-known photographer from NY and what I learned is that there’s no such thing as objectivity. Emotions are all that count. How you can translate your emotion into photos. Well, that was my takeaway from the workshop, anyway—I might be completely wrong. Social media—my two cents: useless. Print a zine, make a book. Leave a few copies at your local bookstore, hoping someone will buy them. Not for the money—you’ll never get rich in this business. The paragraph starting “Be yourself” is spot on in my opinion. Change is welcome, even necessary, but then it’s so hard to absorb it at times. Also, I’d be interested to learn more about the online portfolio review. And ‘Crowded street’ is a gem!
