Day Fifty-Nine — Jennifer Bernardini-Author All day, one thought has been circling in my head: You’re too intense. That’s what I was told at work yesterday. You’re too intense. And it got me to thinking. If you think I’m too intense at a job that I’m not even passionate about, what would you think if you ever came to one of the many...

Thirty Days in.

Thirty Days- Reflection — Jennifer Bernardini-Author Thirty days. One photo a day. What started as a simple challenge quietly turned into a ritual. Wake up, look closer, shoot something, open Photoshop, disappear for a while. Somewhere in those daily edits I realized how much I love Photoshop, not just as a tool, but as a creative home. A place where

Rejection Therapy update:
the no’s are rolling in.

Every no means I asked.
Every ask means fear didn’t get the mic.
Nothing broke. I’m still creating. Still moving.

Asking anyway is the whole point.

Pull up a chair. Stay a minute.

Jennifer Bernardini-Author CREATIVITY EXPLORATION Photography, writing, and creative honesty ABOUT Exploding Head Arts is where I document creativity in real time.I’m photographing daily, practicing rejection therapy, and writing honestly about the process of making art when certainty is in short supply.

Day fourteen and I decided to shake things up.

Trying new things. New angles. New ideas. Maybe even a few “what was I thinking?” moments 😅

This photo a day project isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, experimenting, and letting curiosity lead instead of fear. Some days it clicks, some days it’s messy, but every day teaches me something.

If you want to see what today’s experiment turned into, you can check it out here:

Here’s to trying, learning, and being okay with not nailing it on the first shot.

On to day fifteen

This year, I’m choosing consistency over perfection.
I’ve rebuilt my website, stepped away from what no longer fit, and committed to a Photo-a-Day challenge as a way to stay honest with my creativity and show up even when it’s uncomfortable.
Photography is how I process the world. The quiet details. The grit. The beauty hiding in plain sight. This challenge isn’t about polished highlight reels. It’s about discipline, observation, and letting the work speak for itself, one frame at a time.
You can follow the journey and view my work here:

If you’re interested in the creative process behind the images, the resets, and the rebuilding, I share more through my newsletter. You can sign up directly on the site.
No hype. Just showing up and making the work.
