Rebecca Norris Webb: Ideas From Start to Finish

September 17, 2009 |  by Tim Gruber  |  freelance, quotes  | 

Slowly getting back into blogging and catching up on old drafts I have in my WordPress folder. Sadly it seems like the link to the original article by Rebecca Norris Webb was killed, but I still think it’s worth sharing.

As a freelance photographer this is the kind of thing I need to be reminded of every now and then. Sometimes you need to push the tedious tasks aside and get out there and make some pictures.

No matter how busy and preoccupied I would become over the course of this project with the many, many tasks connected with it – editing film, writing grants, visiting editors and curators, fundraising, updating my website, returning emails, giving slide talks, teaching workshops around the world – I made sure that I photographed at least once a week on my project. The act of photographing always put me back on track, reminding me why I was working so hard on the multitude of less-than-glamorous tasks involved in getting a project out into the world.

Be true to your own vision. Ultimately, this will make your project unique and memorable and successful, that is if you are patient, passionate and persistent enough.
