In this episode of StoryJacker, Lyssa Danehy deHart interviews adventurer, visual artist, University Professor, and photographer Daniel Peebles. Dan discusses the early influences of his narrative style, exploring the Dirty Realists, such as the work of Charles Bukowski, and the exploration of the individual perspective of life in a ambiguous world. He also shares how he has been able to create a powerful personal voice, in a world filled with photographic images. His Narrative Photography is part personal exploration part expanded human exploration.

Along the way Dan got curious about his own life and when it got to painful, he learned to inquire into the stories he was telling himself.

At what point are you ready to make a change? At what point are you willing to investigate why you are reacting and responding to life the way you are? And, what can you do with the awareness once you’ve started to get curious?

Dan talks about his very personal journey, the emotions, thoughts and beliefs that he had to question in order to grow as a person and as an artist. Diving in deep to find his authentic self.

If you are an artist trying to find your own unique voice is a world filled with imagery, maybe it’s time to explore yourself a bit.

Tightwads on the Loose

In this episode of StoryJacker, Lyssa Danehy deHart interviews adventurer, traveler, and speaker, Wendy Hinman, author of Tightwads on the Loose.
Tightwads on the Loose tells the story of Wendy and her husband Garth, lured to sea by the promise of adventure. They buy a 31-foot boat that fits their budget better than it fits Garth’s large frame and set sail for an open-ended voyage, never imagining they’d be gone seven years, or cover 34,000 miles at the pace of a fast walk. They live without most “necessities” and learn that teamwork and a sense of humor matter most as they face endless “character-building opportunities.”

There are really two stories happening, the first is the outward adventure and the the second is the internal adventure. We spend this episode delving into the internal experience and how Wendy was able and willing to leap out of the box and into an adventure.

To find your own copy of Tightwads on the Loose, head over to Wendy’s website, wendyhinman.com or you can find her book on Amazon. Wendy also is a regular speaker at book stores, libraries, boating clubs and at writing conferences. If you have the opportunity to go hear her, take it!
