My New Studio 

Congratulations on your new space! I rented gallery space many years ago and it was probably the most creatively gratifying time of my life. Financially it made absolutely no sense but the work that came out of it was the best I've ever done.

If you really want to make a space sublime, buy a few owens corning 703 acoustic mats. Two, 2x4 foot panels, put into frames and covered with whatever you choose, will take much of the reverberating sound out of that room. Its a small investment but will pay for itself over time, as it will add much, much peace to your space. Love the channel btw. I'm sitting at home atm waiting for a roll of 35mm to dry so I can scan them.

Congrats on the new studio space! I might have to get into the darkroom and send you some art for those walls. I'm sure I have some tree photos around :)

Can't wait to see what the new space inspires! :)

Diggin' the animation's and the rotoscoping 🙂

Congrats on the new space! I hope it will spark creativity. 😊

I'm really proud of and happy for you for taking this step, and I hope it brings you the stability and creative freedom you're craving! Congratulations!

Good for you. I've always fantasized about renting a small space for a studio. I look forward to hearing about your journey as it rolls along.

Hi Jess!, Your journey into setting up a new studio space resonates deeply with the unpredictable nature of life's opportunities. It's fascinating how a chance listing led you to a place that now stands as a beacon of stability and creative potential in your life. The candid sharing of your nomadic lifestyle and the longing for a semblance of stability offers a profound glimpse into the personal sacrifices and adaptations that come with pursuing one's passions. The studio's undefined nature, coupled with your excitement for its potential, mirrors the creative process itself-unpredictable, evolving, and full of possibilities. Your reflection on the shift from feeling pressured to create to feeling a genuine desire to do so is particularly striking. It highlights a pivotal moment where creation becomes not just an output but a necessary expression of self. Your openness about the studio being a non-lease sublet adds an interesting layer of temporariness to the space, underscoring the theme of transition and impermanence that seems to run through your narrative. This transient nature of your new workspace might serve as a constant reminder of the fluidity of life and creativity, where nothing is permanent but everything is a stepping stone to the next chapter. As you embark on this new chapter with your studio, it's clear that this space is more than just a place to work; it's a sanctuary for creativity, a symbol of stability, and a testament to your journey. The excitement and uncertainty you express about the studio's potential are infectious, and it's a reminder that sometimes the most undefined spaces offer the greatest room for growth and creativity. Wishing you all the best as you fill this new space with your unique creativity and watch how it, in turn, shapes your work and life. Your story is a powerful reminder of the beauty that lies in embracing the unknown and finding stability in the places we least expect.

Quite a departure! Best of luck!

Hope it inspires you to do more photography and other artistic pursuits that interest you. Looks like a great space! Hope you anchored those tall shelves to the wall, you don't want item weight to tip them.

Best wishes for your adventures in your new studio.

Oh Jess, this is very exciting news. The possibilities are endless, even more so now. Enjoy it and know that I am so excited and happy for you! P.s. miss you!!!!

I’m excited to see where you take this.

So happy for you, a new creation outlet 😘

Great news, I'll watch your progress which will hopefully give me the motivation to get started on my workspace/darkroom. Have you thought about the Ilford darkroom tent as a temporary darkroom?

Good for you!! Best of good fortune with it!

Congrats Jess!

That is so cool - congratulations :)

Grats I look forward to seeing what you do :)

What an inviting space. Here’s to many creative and spiritually uplifting moments there.

Congratulations!!!

Congrats!

So happy for your moment, may it snowball into great strength in you and your photography...we will be here to watch it.

Good luck!

How wonderful to have a studio space! Congratulations.

This is exciting! The potential! Congratulations! I enjoy watching your videos and understanding your style and goals. It doesn't matter how often you post, do it your way and at your own pace. Photography is a journey; the exploration of nature and humanity. It is not the whim or the demand of an algorithm.

I wish you happiness and peace with your new space. I’m cheering for you Jess.

Congrats Jess! I hope your studio space helps inspire and motivate you

Congratulations on your new studio! Be happy and enjoy it a lot! 👍👍👍👍

Jess!! This is so so cool and I am so excited for you!!! I hope to see more of you in this wonderful new space of yours!!

Congratulations, that is amazing! I look forward to seeing what you do with this space.

Congratulations and great voice over too. I thought you were a Farmer? and farmers usually live on the land they farm? At least here in the UK they do.

Congrats on your new space. Looking forward to seeing more about it.

I hope to see good things come from your studio. Congrats!!

Looking good! Enjoy the studio.

I hope you are all well. Maybe it's me but I was worried about the uncertainty of your actual life. I thought living the farm life through the seasons makes life predictable on some levels ... 🤔
