A single idea can change your entire creative life — and in this episode, Rick Nelson breaks down why a personal project might be the most important thing a photographer can commit to.
Whether you’re stuck in a rut, craving direction, or simply tired of shooting without purpose, this conversation explores how one simple theme, repeated with intention, can transform your style, sharpen your identity, and reconnect you to the reason you picked up a camera in the first place.
Rick shares why personal projects matter, how they quietly shape your voice and vision, and how even the smallest idea — a street, a time of day, a feeling — can reignite your creativity. He also opens up about his own recent project and how it helped him push through a difficult creative season.
If you’ve ever felt lost somewhere between inspiration and overwhelm, this episode is your invitation to choose one idea… and let it change you.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
