Episode 15: Make Me A Sandwich

<p>Everyone is locked up in their houses now or something, and what choice do we have? So we’ll talk about social distancing and creativity – Creative Social Distancing? – we’ll give a call to Ethan from <a href='https://www.cameradactyl.com/'>Cameradactyle</a>, talk about wire photos and what they have to do with a James Stewart movie, and zine reviews.</p> <p>After a sort of meandering wellness check (including a talk about an <a href='https://closertothesea.cargo.site/'>exhibition Vania’s in</a>), we hit the answering machine!</p> <p>I Hate Your Answering Machine We asked listeners to call in and tell us how social distancing has effected their creativity.</p> <p>The array of answers was encouraging.

But it’s also important to remember that we don’t need to be creative now. It’s okay to not be. It’s okay to not be able to be.</p> <p>Shoot Inside Challenge Thing That said, we’re offering a way for you to stay creative if you want to – and to do it indoors.</p> <p>For those who like challenges and being tasked with things, we’ve got the Shoot Inside Challenge Thing for you!
