Hi!

You’ve likely dropped in on this page because you read some of my stuff here on Medium. I’d like to introduce you to “Peter’s Dispatch”, a rather (i)regular newsletter where I share my thoughts on photography, creativity, wellbeing, and finding your voice.

Each week, I send out one email newsletter. In it, I share my latest blog posts, and I show you what kept me inspired during the week, so you can enjoy it, too!

Welcome!

If interested, you can sign up for the newsletter on the above link or on this link. I value your privacy. One-click unsubscribe.

Short Guide to my Writing here on Medium

While you wait for the first newsletter to arrive, you can browse my writing here on Medium. I’ve been actively publishing here for a while now, however less often than I care to admit! The work I published here is still relevant and worth reading. I get inspired by reading about photography principles, creativity, and philosophy. That’s why I write about it, too! My topics here on Medium can be summed up in three categories:

1) Photography Philosophy and Principles I believe in

Various topics surrounding photography focused on the “Why”, rather than “How”. I hope these will ignite creative process thinking, as well as help you feel motivated, confident, and eager to put your work out there, regardless of what stage of the photographer’s journey you find yourself at.

The Origins of Emotions in Photography

How Creatives Become Fiercely Successful by Fighting the Imposter Syndrome

Vision vs Skill: How to Build a Feedback Loop for Continuous Development?

2) Photography essentials

Topics for amateurs and professionals alike, who are dealing with a technical aspect of photography — those would be your “How To” articles.

Big List of How to Find Good Pictures Anywhere

Three Gs of Street Photography

Photographing Strangers: The Role of Anonymity, Proximity, and Consent

3) Personal Essays

I use writing as a meditative vehicle from time to time. Mostly I cannot publish these, although, there are a few ones where I gathered all my courage and published them. There might be learning or two in them, too!

Reframing Failure into a Life-Lasting Blessing

Shooting 35mm for one whole year

Re-Inventing Yourself As an Artist and How Often Should You Do It?
