Long-term creative projects (5+ years) can be exceptionally rewarding in terms of the depth of one's research, the close relationships formed, and the types of imagery that can only be developed over years of working with the same subject. That said, long-term projects can also be the most difficult to sustain, creatively and financially. Join Eric William Carroll & other members of the Kinship Photography Collective for a community discussion on how to help foster long-term projects that avoid burnout, exhaustion, and boredom.
