Chasing Passion: Photography, Bow Hunting, and the Outdoors
> Explore the joy of merging passions in photography and archery.
In this episode, we dive into a conversation that highlights the joy of pursuing hobbies that ignite passion. Bergy Bowsmith sits down with Kellen Naizer, an underrated photographer and avid bow hunter, to discuss their shared love for the outdoors and the art of capturing it through photography.
Living the Passion
Kellen shares how photography has transformed from a side gig to his number one hobby, merging seamlessly with his love for bow hunting. "It's just been fun taking the deep dive... it’s just fun," Kellen reflects, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the process rather than getting lost in competition.
The Comparison Trap
Bergy and Kellen explore the pitfalls of comparison in the creative space, especially on social media. "Comparison is the thief of joy," Bergy reminds us, urging listeners to focus on their own journeys instead of measuring against others. Kellen echoes this sentiment, saying, "I'm just putting out content that I enjoy doing... not feeling like I'm forced to do things a certain way."
Creative Sparks and Idea Generation
The duo also discusses their methods for maintaining creativity. Bergy talks about using technology like Chat GPT to track video ideas and reignite his creative juices. "If I have writer's block... it’ll give me that list every day at 6:30," he shares. This proactive approach helps keep the flow of ideas alive.
Kellen adds that he captures inspiration on the go, sharing a recent experience with his daughter’s toy bow that sparked a new idea for a post. "I just write down any idea... because I know I'm gonna forget about it," he advises, highlighting the importance of staying organized in the creative process.
