This is episode #3 for June 2017 of the Camera and Inspiration show at “PPN - Photo Podcast Network”

• Scott picks this month inspirational photographer: Georgia O’Keeffe (1887 - 1986) One of the most famous US painter of the 20th century. But Scott put a nice spin on her career and how her relationship to Alfred Stieglitz made her quite relevant even for modern photography. https://www.okeeffemuseum.org/about-georgia-okeeffe/
• As the main topic, Scott and Marco discuss how less gear and a few other limitations can really help you to improve your photography and your creative vision.
• Limitation of gear seems to counter the current trend to use more and more gear. But in the discussion, you will hear many reasons where the limitation will actually be very beneficial to your photos and your photography experience.
• Bags can be a great help to limit the amount of gear that you can bring. Scott talks about the Cosyspeed Streetomatic Plus as a very unique and useful bag, that he uses for that reason.

• Limiting yourself to a certain area or topic will act as a creativity booster for you to really look for the subject and the story to tell.
• Marco gives some useful hands-on benefits why the beaten argument of using one camera and one lens can be extremely helpful in finding your vision and your style in photography.
• Scott shares some exercises for your “art brain”.
• Scott has a new “Eagle Monographs” book (limited quantity) that can be ordered here: http://www.ScottBourne.photography

• Marco’s inspirational photo book of the month is called: Minutes to Midnight by Australian Magnum photographer Trent Parke. https://steidl.de/Books/Minutes-to-Midnight-1520325557.html

“Minutes to Midnight merges traditional documentary techniques and imagination to create a dark visual narrative portraying Australia with a mix of nostalgia, romanticism and brooding realism. This is not a record of the physical landscape but of an emotional one.”
