Today we’d like to introduce you to Joshua Lindsey
Hi Joshua, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
It’s a very weird thought process to think one would be able to summarize your entire STORY in 500 characters or less, but I think for the sake of this story, the most important facet to talk about is photography and how photography has helped me become a better person and how the Savannah Photo Club has helped to bring new life into the Savannah art community. Today, everything moves fast in society and most of the time in photography you have to be still. We all need a little bit of stillness.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The typical obstacles to becoming great at anything are pretty well understood. I think in this instance community was the greatest challenge. How do you grow a community in an organic manner that allows everyone to show up as their most authentic self? Interestingly enough the solution is to be apart of the community. It takes work, you have to go out and talk to them and be open to everything they have to offer. You also have to have some special people in your corner! Shoutout Daniel and Randall! I have an amazing group of friends.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I do have a day job that typically takes up 50 hours of my week, but I would like to talk about my passions. I’ve been described as a passionate person. I love to learn, so when I picked up a camera I had to learn everything about it! Photography is such a deeply complex art form that my insatiable thirst for learning has not been satisfied! So I continue to strive to be better at photography and at community building! So I typically do fun photography projects with my friends and my wife and I throw parties at Forsyth Park the last Sunday of each month when the weather is good.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Once you get older, you have to learn yourself and understand what you are lacking as an individual. Once you know yourself it is incumbent of your to fill holes in your heart. I believe one of my best abilities is to be humble enough to say I’m not the best ever and that I can grow. I’ve been blessed with some amazing mentors! The greatest thing they have me was confidence to be my authentic self. They also pushed my to be better and told me I can do better!
