Content creator:

there’s at least two terms that label what I’m doing on YouTube, social influencer and content creator, and neither of these feel quite right for me to use. I’m most certainly not seeking to influence anyone, perhaps inspire a little, urging others to use a social media platform to share their own unique voice and vision in some creative way. While content creator seems to give me more credit then I really deserve here, as I’m mainly just talking and sharing aspects of my daily life.

it’s far too simple to truly need a label.

especially as I consider so much of what I share to be flawed, there’s no editing involved, and little concern for how others might view the thing that are shared. My nature clips are often shaky and are of common sights of what many people see daily, with the most recent being a squirrel nibbling an acorn near a stream. It’s ordinary, and that’s what captures my imagination, just a small miraculous moment of existence shared with others. I consider it art, but not mine, nature does all of the arrangement, including placing me exactly where I’m needed to witness such a view.

it’s the same with my talks that I live stream daily. I’m not influencing anyone here, or even creating content, I’m simply sharing conversation, my imagination feeding off of any comments provided, unconcerned with any thoughts…
