EP 72 - The Dare Facebook Community | The Wake-Up Call Every Photographer Needs
This week’s episode is a bit of a firestarter. Gary’s back behind the mic after a few weeks away, talking about what really drives growth — not gear, not technique, but support and accountability.He breaks down why most photographers say they want creative freedom but rarely do what it takes to get there. Why discomfort isn’t the enemy — it’s the signal. And why the Dare Photography Community exists: to help photographers stop hiding behind comfort and finally take the kind of risks that change everything.You’ll hear about:Why overthinking is killing your creativity.How “creating energy” on the street transforms your photography.The difference between wanting it and doing what it takes.Why going it alone doesn’t work — and how support accelerates growth.What the new Dare Photography Facebook community is (and isn’t).How real feedback (not flattery) shapes stronger photographers.This isn’t another social media group — it’s a challenge. A space for honest feedback, fearless work, and genuine creative evolution.Join the Dare Photography Community on Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/groups/darephotography/Watch the welcome video in the Featured tab before you dive in: https://youtu.be/eWrVGqD1rwQTHE DARE PHOTOGRAPHY WHATSAPP COMMUNITYTo gain entry to our WhatsApp community, contact Gary and Katie via the webpage:Community Page LinkWEBSITElashmarcreative.comINSTAGRAM• The Street ThiefInstagram• Dare (idaretoshoot)InstagramTHE INSPIRATION SHOT (weekly photography inspiration)Inspiration ShotZINESThe Way of the Street PhotographerBooks & ZinesMusic by Max BiancoInstagramThank you for SUBSCRIBING.Lashmar (aka the Street Thief)x.

EP 69 -Photo Zine Chaos, The Street Thief is Back | Creative Procrastination
Summary:The Street Thief returns with a full-frame confession: making a photo zine is beautiful chaos. In this episode Gary Lashmar dives into the year-long brawl behind his new zine Smudge—a second-album project haunted by creative procrastination, deadline dodging, and that inner critic that whispers “not good enough.”Gary unpacks the late-night edits, the false starts, and the punk realisation that a photo zine only comes alive when you stop waiting for perfect light and hit print. He riffs on how community keeps you accountable, why fear hides inside “productive stalling,” and how finishing matters more than flawless execution.Whether you’re dreaming up your first photo zine or battling your own creative delays, this episode is your gritty push to finish what you started.THE DARE PHOTOGRAPHY WHATSAPP COMMUNITYTo gain entry to our WhatsApp community, contact Gary and Katie via the webpage:Community Page LinkWEBSITElashmarcreative.comINSTAGRAM• The Street ThiefInstagram• Dare (idaretoshoot)InstagramTHE INSPIRATION SHOT (weekly photography inspiration)Inspiration ShotZINESThe Way of the Street PhotographerBooks & ZinesMusic by Max BiancoInstagramThank you for SUBSCRIBING.Lashmar (aka the Street Thief)x.
