Shifter: How I Use my Journal for Documentary Photography

Remember, this is how I work. This strategy may or may not work for you but perhaps there is something to be gained by having a listen, even if it's only something small you add to your quiver.

You just never know. One of the best things about being on YouTube is that people have discovered the fact I keep a journal. This makes me happy because it means that more of you might start keeping your own, and when it comes to doing long-term work there is simply no better partner than a notebook/journal.

This film is long but I was feeling good and had no particular place to be. These films, for me, are like creation therapy because they allow me to talk about things I love while taking a break from some of the daily tasks that aren't as savory.

You don't need anything fancy. You don't need the perfect pen. And the journal is for you and nobody else. This is a safe zone. Write like you mean it. There is no right and wrong.
