Instead of perfecting your work in private before revealing it, share as you go. Especially useful for creators and photographers — a thin book with real spark.
My notes
Sample entry to demo the bookshelf layout. Real reads will be added later via Studio.
Why it fits photographers
Kleon urges creators to “show their work” — share your influences, your works-in-progress, the things you learn. It lets strangers discover you and turns your output into a visible trail over time.
Lines I liked
- “You don’t have to be a genius. You just have to share a little something every day.”
- Think of yourself as a continuously-updated archive, not a one-off exhibition.
A gentle nudge for anyone who “never feels ready to post.”
