Jared Polin Froano's Photo.com. This is the Daily Fro for March 13th, 2018, the time 11.19 p.m.

This is episode number 47, where I sit down sometime during the day, generally at night, except for when I get really inspired and share what is on my mind with all of you.

It's kind of like a journal. That's why I time and date stamp it for all of you to hear, and also maybe one day I can go back and listen, though I don't know if I'll ever go back and listen.

But speaking of going back and listening, if you haven't gone back and listen to any of the older episodes,

18 minutes, but there's some really good stuff in them, and I think it might help you. And it also

very end of this episode, I do have a new

voicemail that somebody left me that was inspired by what I said about less thinking, more doing.

And so pay attention or stay tuned to the very end of the episode where I'm running a voicemail.

Now, if you'd like to give me some feedback, you can call 267-454-6376 that is a voicemail you could also text it if you would like i do prefer

the voicemails but if you feel like texting i may text you back so i was going to talk about vanity

numbers but i was going to talk about more so what makes me happy or what gets me going and people

always ask jared how do you get out of a funk as a photographer?

What do you do if you're in a creative stalemate and you need to get out? And the same thing that

I've always said is I look at other work. I look at photo books. I've got a shelf behind me of a

couple hundred photo books that I've purchased over the years. I'd say 98% of them I still

haven't cracked open. But when I do crack them open, they are all inspiring. They are amazing.

I was looking up Jim Marshall the other day. I love Jim Marshall. I was lucky enough to befriend

him before he passed away a couple years ago.

And I was showing somebody his work. My girlfriend, we were sitting at dinner and she didn't
