“If you stay around long enough, they can't get rid of you.”
Paul Butterfield
Project: Experience what it was like.
Old Ilford paper in a coffee tin pinhole. To experience how it used to work with a plate camera in a studio. Paper developed in Coffee. “Bringing nature in”.
I present one of these works during the exhibition 055ApeldoornArt in the CODA #stickaround

I got the next episode of the Leap of Faith podcast ready for Monday. What am I talking about?
Permission to Stay in the Room.
This is the idea of having a relationship with what you want even when it gets uncomfortable. Sometimes we call that permission.
Give yourself permission to deal with the crap that comes up inside of yourself when you go to do something different. What is all that stuff? Where did it come from? And how the heck do I deal with it?
The room is the change you want to make or the goal you have. That room is where you have to learn to hang out if you want to do the thing.
By the way, that room is not a comfortable place to be at first. But your job is to make it more comfortable by getting okay with your surroundings, learning how to manage the fear, questioning what's happening in your head, and figuring out what you need to do next.
Hint: You don't need to run away.
You do need to stay in the room, manage the fear, and give yourself permission to keep going.
It's possible.
