When I look back at my career, I see all these tangents. The tangents that have always yielded success, were the ones where there was NO established path, no defined route for me to take, but I went down it anyway. And through that kind of exploration, I always discovered something new. And those things, those new entities, whether they be movies or ideas or things in my personal life, have always proven to be the most rewarding for me.
Here is the aforementioned video on the iPod that was mentioned in the video above that Casey made in 2003.
So with this, I hope that you go forward and explore in your art and yield new chances and opportunities unbeknownst to you when you started your journey.
Took me a little bit to get used to Casey but now love this guy. I actually forward his "organizational" videos to our QC department here at work and they have implemented a lot of Casey's techniques/tips around the work place.
That was very inspiring
That's the reason why I won't buy an Apple product.
PS: Darn! I missed the cutoff for the Nat Geo contest! I was going to do a dog sled adventure in Alaska to photograph the Aurora Borealis using film!
Very interesting video and great advice. I did find the close-up framing a little distracting, but really enjoyed the info.
