Angela of Adrants to Interrogate ADs and Art Buyers for Shoot! the Day

shoot-the-day.jpg

Tomorrow I’ll be moderating a panel for Shoot! the Day, a stock photography conference put together by PhotoShelter. (See a recent study related to the topic.)

My panel is at 12:15pm. It will include:

  • Belinda Lopez, Senior Art Buyer, Strawberry Frog
  • Wanda Lau, Senior Art Director, Greater Than One
  • Jen Santiago, Managing Art Buyer, G2 Direct & Digital
  • Molly Aaker, Art Buyer, Unit7

My two biggest fears:

1) making a Twitter joke

2) boring my audience, which will consist of professional photographers. I’m clearly not one of them and I won’t do justice to their angstiest stock photo/ad agency concerns, so I’ll be leaving plenty of room for Audience Questions!.

Read about other Shoot! the Day panels at the PhotoShelter blog. And if you’d like to come watch me make awkward jokes and commit forehead-slapping faux-pas, here’s how to volunteer for a free pass.

Grandparents who build real relationships with their grandchildren aren’t the ones who try hardest — they’re the ones who are most genuinely themselves in those relationships, who don’t perform grandparenthood but simply show up as a person the child finds worth knowing, and children are extraordinarily accurate detectors of the difference between someone who is interested in them and someone who is interested in the idea of being close to them

Psychologists explain that happiness after 60 often arrives not as a feeling but as an absence. The absence of pretending. The absence of urgency. The absence of the persistent low-grade fear that you’re falling behind a race that never existed.

Children who were raised by parents who never expressed affection openly often carry these 9 emotional patterns into adulthood — and psychologists say this is the silent epidemic behind why so many people over 60 feel isolated even in full households

I raised my children the way I was raised — with high standards, clear expectations and not much room for emotional mess — and spent my 60s learning that what I’d experienced as good parenting they had experienced as a home where being imperfect was quietly dangerous, and that the distance my youngest maintains isn’t rudeness or ingratitude, it’s just the amount of space she needed to finally feel safe
