Every Sunday, I contact photographers previously featured on PHOTOSNACK and ask them to send me their spontaneous thoughts, observations, reflections, or advice.
Today, I am sharing the messages I received from Joe Howard and Michael Wilson.
Joe Howard
Influence is good, but too much influence can restrict you. If you’re spending too much time looking at what others have done and are doing, you may lose that opportunity to find your voice organically. Go and make work without thinking where you’re going to put it, what it’s being used for, or who is going to see it.

I have taken many pictures of my wife, but this is one of my favorites.
It was late July. We had just butchered a dozen or so chickens. Work that had gotten the better of us both. And then this gift of soft light at the near edge of a deep dark. This is a kind of light that I have come to be very attuned to and most grateful for over time. I keep an eye out for it.

Sunday Editions connect you with photographers whose work you previously explored through PHOTOSNACK.
I want to reveal some authentic parts of the people behind the cameras.
I don't ask them any specific questions. I ask them to share whatever comes to mind when they think about YOU, the newsletter readers.
It makes their responses genuine and personal.
I hope you enjoyed today's Sunday Edition.
Until next time,
Tomasz
Two very welcome insights, thanks to you and the two contributors!
