Dan Milnor is a fly fisherman so right off the bat, he’s OK by me.
He’s also a renowned photojournalist and more recently, a kind of evangelist for what I’ll call quality creativity and the publishing of same (to various mediums.)
I just now coined that phrase but I like it. Quality creativity.
We’re either at an inflection point, or nearing one. Creative tools and the means to publish worldwide are at the literal fingertips of hundreds of millions of people. But the emphasis, owing mainly I think to the profiteering around capturing peoples attention, has been on quantity over quality.
Or maybe it’s not even that. Maybe it’s hyper-palatability. It’s modern-day food engineering, transcribed onto the media that we digest. What will get the clicks, what will drive the Time On App, etc.
If it continues on as such, we’re doomed.
What we’re largely missing is a movement to use the amazing tools and platforms at our disposal to publish quality creative work. Milnor is on that train. He’s an activist for that.
