By announcing the project and uploading the results every week, I created a deadline for myself.
The project, called required me to create a new self-portrait every week for forty weeks and post them on my blog and Facebook. To celebrate, I created a project that would combine two of the things people hate the most: turning forty and having their picture taken. The model is readily available, there are no creative limits and they can really help you to grow artistically. Self-portraits are one of my favorite challenges to work on. By having a clearly-defined project, with real deadlines, you will drastically increase your chance of completing the project. Unfortunately, the lack of deadline often causes us to leave projects on the back burner and eventually forget about them. There is no money to be gained, no real deadline, and no limit to your creativity. By definition, a self-assignment is something you impose on yourself. One of the best ways to boost your creativity is through self-assignments.
So how do you fill up your Creativity Cupboard?

If you only have salt and pepper to work with, your food won’t taste as good as the person with a cupboard full of spices. In summary, what I do is effectively aggregate information and share it visually to churn ideas.How much better would your imagery be if you were more creative? Is there any photographer out there who wouldn’t like to be stronger in that area? Creativity to a photographer is like ingredients to a chef. I video nearly all public meetings regarding the site, attend CARD & SRSW review sessions, analyze available cleanup data, and produce comprehensive 4-D Google Earth mashups to allow stakeholders readily see the reality of the contamination and cleanup. I helped set up and manage the non-profit, grass-roots, citizen group Scio Residents for Safe Water (SRSW) and helped formalize the local government involvement with the establishment of the Coalition for Action on Remediation of Dioxane (CARD). (It's really invigorating to participate in all of the various networking groups and help mentor others.)Īnother volunteer activity I've been involved with since 1993 is as a citizen advocate watching over the Pall/Gelman 1,4-Dioxane Groundwater Contamination Site expanding in Scio Township and through the City of Ann Arbor. My goal is to continue doing community videos while picking up an occasional paid gig to pay the bills. My specialty is live video streaming and recording, but I also do video editing where warranted, e.g. for about 10 groups on an ongoing basis (shaded lines on the Google Spreadsheets) and other groups as time allows. and these Google spreadsheets provide a more detailed summary: Īs the summary sheets show, I currently produce an average of about two hours of videos a week. The URL above links to dozens of videos I have produced for several groups.
Since 2009, I've helped several networking groups kick it up a notch or two with event management, record keeping, and especially, video live streaming/recording/editing/posting so people can experience the events remotely or after the fact.

Then with more free time, I began attending several meetup and networking groups in the Ann Arbor area and got acquainted with serial entrepreneur Dug Song, who has been advocating for more meetups to help build a vibrant startup community here.

I eased into (partial) retirement a couple of years ago after 40+ years of providing management consulting and integrated software for local governments and other public sector organizations while helping honcho our company through a continuous thread of spinoffs and mergers since starting there in college.
