Welcome to episode 216 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen!
This week I hosted a special panel conversation on mental health and landscape photography with my guests Brian Rueb, Bryan Pezman, and Len Metcalf.
In 2019, there were an estimated 51.5 million adults aged 18 or older in the United States suffering from mental illness. This number represents 21% of all U.S. adults. The statistics for mental illness are quite staggering; however, it also means that if you are suffering that you are not alone. As artists and photographers, there is a lot that can be said for using art as a means for coping with mental illness and expressing our experiences with it. In this podcast episode, we explore this topic deeply and examine the impacts of mental illness on us, photographic artists.
Bryan, Len, Brian, and I discuss mental health issues in landscape photography this week, including:
Over on Patreon this week, we discuss the challenges in showing grace and tolerance for those suffering with mental health who behave in outwardly aggressive and mean ways towards the photographic community.
Other items mentioned on the show:
1. Lens Journal.
2. Storm Chasing Tours with Bryan Pezman.
3. Gary Randall Alaska Workshop.
