Interview with Ashton Rodenheiser Graphic Notetaking

Talking with a Professional Graphic Notetaker
I use Podmatch sometimes to help me find guests or to help guests find me. Ashton reached out to me a few months ago and I was amazed with her story. Below is her bio and links to all of her important links, however, I would recommend you listen to the episode first and then go after the links. She is such a giving person and the work she crosses the lines of business and art in a great way. Don't get me wrong she is an artist when she is doing her work for her corporate clients and she is a business person making a living for her and her family and employees/colleagues. This is the perfect marriage of art and business and one of the things I want to demonstrate in this podcast, you can own a business doing your art.
Ashton's Bio
Ashton Rodenhiser is passionate about lifting the creative spirit in everyone that she meets. For the past seven years, she has followed her passion for helping people communicate their ideas and combined that with creativity by founding Mind's Eye Creative Consulting. You’ll often find her with markers in hand as she’s helping bring ideas to life through graphic recording and graphic facilitation practices.She’s worked with diverse groups, from non-profits to Fortune 500 companies. It may appear as if she’s the silent illustrator in the room. In fact, she’s helping to break down complex concepts and notions into an easily understandable visual language, helping others retain more information while inspiring people to continue practicing her techniques in the world.Over the years, she has brought close to a thousand presentations and conversations to life either on paper or digitally.When she’s not working with clients, she’s being silly with her three young kids and husband in rural Canada.

Commentary Time

Mastering the Art of Time: Harnessing Temporality in Your Creative Process
Time is both a constraint and a canvas for artists. Embracing the temporality of your artistic practice can lead to new dimensions of creativity and meaning. Whether you're using time as a source of inspiration, managing it in your creative process, or considering how it shapes the perception of your art, understanding and harnessing the power of time can elevate your artistic practice to new heights. My wife gave me a box of cards for the holidays in 2022. I was puzzled because they were creativity cards and I thought, what the heck is this, I don't need them. Well, folks, I was wrong and I will attempt to do a card a week and record an episode about how I am utilizing the card I draw every week if you decide to pick up a deck and do these let me know.

Time and Perception
Visual Arts: Paintings and sculptures freeze a moment in time, allowing viewers to explore the details and emotions within that frozen moment. Time is suspended, inviting contemplation.
Music: Music is a temporal art form, unfolding over time. The pacing, rhythm, and structure of a musical piece can evoke a wide range of emotions and create a sense of narrative.
Literature: In literature, the author controls the flow of time through words. They can speed up or slow down the reader's experience, creating tension or conveying a sense of time passing.
Performance Arts: Dance, theater, and performance art are immediate and ephemeral, happening in real time. The audience experiences these forms of art as they unfold, with no opportunity for rewind or pause.
The Kernal of Time
Choose what to do with time, the most exquisite gift you have in your possession.
Time Definitions
Time The part of existence that is measured in minutes, days, years, etc., or this process is considered as a whole, the system of recording hours used in different parts of the world Source Cambridge Dictionary
Time Challenge
Disengage from your responsibilities, and disconnect from your devices for fifteen minutes a day for one week. Wake up just a little bit earlier to paint, write, design, compose, or craft as your heart desires.
What is one legacy you want to leave your family and friends, or organizations? Post it on a white note card you pin up prominently in your space, and begin dedicating fifteen minutes each day to making it happen.
Right now, pull one red action card and one blue intention card. Take fifteen minutes to create something that combines the two.

Interview with Peter Dazeley Photography and AI

 
Who is the photographer Peter Dazeley and how did we meet
Peter Dazeley studied photography at Holland Park Comprehensive (now known as the Socialist Eton). He possesses a meticulous planning approach and an imaginative problem-solving ability, pioneering numerous photographic techniques that have since become standard practices. Sarah Ryder Richardson, who represents Dazeley in the UK, states, "Dazeley’s gift lies in making the ordinary look extraordinary." His work has earned awards from organizations worldwide, including the Association of Photographers, the Royal Photographic Society in the UK, EPICA in France, Applied Arts Magazine in Canada, and Graphis Inc. in the USA. Platinum prints of Dazeley’s fine artwork are produced by 31 Studios in Gloucestershire.
A few months ago, Lauren Bell, a publicist from Trope Publishing, approached me. She asked if I would be interested in engaging in a conversation with Peter. Naturally, I agreed, and the rest, as they say, became history. Despite the timezone difference and his hectic schedule, Peter was more than accommodating. He sat down with me to record this conversation. This marked only his second podcast interview, yet he performed exceptionally well for a podcasting newcomer. Take a look at his work; I'm confident you'll be impressed by his photographic skills.
