Speaker:Today, I am joined by RC Clark of dancing,
Speaker:snake nature photography with the lens,
Speaker:trained on everything from sunsets to spiders,
Speaker:RC captures the striking beauty of the Southwest with a passion
Speaker:for wildlife and natural vistas of the Arizona Sonoran desert viewing
Speaker:her photography.
Speaker:You can take a journey through the surreal and downright creepy
Speaker:through cactus blooms to venomous fangs and everything in between.
Speaker:RC is a nationally published photographer and will be teaching a
Speaker:photography workshop for the turtle and tortoise survival Alliance in Tucson
Speaker:in early August.
Speaker:I believe it's August 6th.
Speaker:Welcome to the show.
Speaker:RC. Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker:It's a pleasure.
Speaker:I am thrilled that you're with us.
Speaker:Is there anything else you'd like to share with our listeners
Speaker:before we get started?
Speaker:No, I think you covered it just great.
Speaker:Fabulous. Well,
Speaker:as our listeners know,
Speaker:we like to align the conversation around the life of a
Speaker:motivational candle.
Speaker:The light shines on you while you share your stories and
Speaker:experiences. So shall we light it up?
Speaker:I Cannot wait to light up this candle.
Speaker:Yay. So what color is your candle?
Speaker:Well, Because it's always been my intention to capture and present
Speaker:the awesome beauty of nature.
Speaker:My candle would have to be green.
Speaker:What shade of green,
Speaker:green of the Forest,
Speaker:the green of the deserts.
Speaker:Maybe we can have a couple of different greens swirled around
Speaker:all in there.
Speaker:Oh, there you Go.
Speaker:And what is the motivational quote on that candle?
Speaker:My quote comes from one of my favorite authors,
Speaker:Stephen King.
Speaker:Yes. That Stephen King and the quote is talent is like
Speaker:table salt.
Speaker:The difference between talent and success is hard work.
Speaker:Just like everybody has table salt.
Speaker:Everyone also has some form of talent.
Speaker:The difference between having something and developing it into something greater
Speaker:is perseverance and putting in the effort.
Speaker:I love that insight because you're right.
Speaker:Sometimes we'll just hold so tightly to their talent and not
Speaker:even want to share it because they're afraid that someone else
Speaker:may think it's not talent or,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:are just too fearful of bringing it out to the world.
Speaker:So that quote is fabulous and you are see being a
Speaker:photographer, same type of thing.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:you're sharing something very personal that you're capturing out to the
Speaker:world. Yes,
Speaker:absolutely. So What's go way back to the beginning and let's
Speaker:talk about how did you get into this whole love of
Speaker:photography in the first?
Speaker:Well, I've had a love for animals,
Speaker:particularly your kind of less loved creatures like reptiles and amphibians
Speaker:and insects and brackets and things like that since I was
Speaker:a child,
Speaker:but the photography part started with bats and a bridge several
Speaker:years ago,
Speaker:I decided to get up off the couch and just take
Speaker:my little eight megapixel point and shoot to this bridge in
Speaker:Tucson where a colony of bats reside.
Speaker:And I wanted to see the bats fly out and try
Speaker:to take a picture eight megapixel point and shoot cameras don't
Speaker:really do very well for that kind of thing.
Speaker:I found out real quick,
Speaker:but while I was there,
Speaker:I ran into this crazy dress looking guy with this huge
Speaker:ginormous camera and being the outgoing individual that I am.
Speaker:I struck up a conversation and before I knew it,
Speaker:he was offering to teach me what he knew.
Speaker:If I would just be willing to learn and practice and
Speaker:do what he told me to do,
Speaker:I thought,
Speaker:well, that's a pretty good deal.
Speaker:So I took him up on it and got the little
Speaker:nicer camera that we had here at home,
Speaker:but I had never even turned on before.
Speaker:Cause I was so intimidated by it and I took it
Speaker:out and started taking pictures.
Speaker:And the first pictures that I took,
Speaker:because the rule was,
Speaker:I could not use the automatic green box.
Speaker:That's on the camera.
Speaker:I had to do my settings myself and all those first
Speaker:pictures. You couldn't even tell what I was trying to take
Speaker:a picture of.
Speaker:First time,
Speaker:I took a picture of something that turned out the way
Speaker:I wanted it to.
Speaker:I was thrilled and that's when I really,
Speaker:really started practicing hard.
Speaker:And through that,
Speaker:I started finding my artistic boys.
Speaker:And then my husband has also been extremely supportive and people
Speaker:were telling me how good my work was.
Speaker:And then when I got contacted by a couple of authors
Speaker:wanting to use my pictures in their books,
Speaker:I decided that I wanted to create a calendar and some
Speaker:greeting cards and start getting my work out there.
Speaker:And that's kind of how it evolved Telling me that you
Speaker:just were on a couch one day and decided you wanted
Speaker:to just go and capture some images because you like all
Speaker:those weird creepy things that make me cringe.
Speaker:And that led you out to then meeting this gentleman.
Speaker:And then everything kind of just evolved from there.
Speaker:I would say that it's not only Jessie involved,
Speaker:but it's almost skyrocketed from there.
Speaker:Yes, That's crazy.
Speaker:What if you would not have gone out that one day?
Speaker:I ask myself that question all the time,
Speaker:because I was really on the fence about whether I wanted
Speaker:to just stay home and watch TV or get in my
Speaker:car and drive to this bridge and watch the bats fly.
Speaker:And I asked myself all the time,
Speaker:if I had stayed home,
Speaker:I wouldn't be where I'm at today.
Speaker:And it just,
Speaker:that one action changed everything.
Speaker:Just that one action to get up off the couch and
Speaker:get in my car and drive to a bridge.
Speaker:That's so interesting.
Speaker:And I think for our listeners,
Speaker:especially those who are trying to search for that thing that
Speaker:they want to do,
Speaker:just, it tells you to take action.
Speaker:What RC did was you,
Speaker:it was just a passion,
Speaker:just a regular kind of day to day type thing.
Speaker:But instead of staying on the couch,
Speaker:she got up followed an interest that she had.
Speaker:And look what happened.
Speaker:And we're going to talk about this a little bit later,
Speaker:but when you get a chance to look at some of
Speaker:her photography,
Speaker:it is breathtaking.
Speaker:So you clearly,
Speaker:you have such a passion for it and such an artistic
Speaker:flare. I mean,
Speaker:it's gotta be that photographers.
Speaker:I, because I could not take pictures like that.
Speaker:Even if I dared getting close to some of the creatures
Speaker:that you've gotten close to.
Speaker:Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker:It's my passion.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:It gets me close to those creepy kind of creatures that
Speaker:make other people cringe.
Speaker:And it's just opened up so many doors for me and
Speaker:introduced me to so many amazing,
Speaker:interesting people.
Speaker:I have a whole new group of friends that revolve all
Speaker:around this photography.
Speaker:Wow. That's amazing.
Speaker:Tell us a little bit about dancing,
Speaker:snake, nature photography.
Speaker:Is it a business that you do out of your home
Speaker:dancing? Snake nature.
Speaker:Photography is a side business.
Speaker:I don't particularly do it out of my home.
Speaker:I do all my editing and whatnot.
Speaker:I have sold some things online,
Speaker:but I love working the shows,
Speaker:going to an art fair and setting up.
Speaker:It's such a visual medium that online to me,
Speaker:doesn't even quite captured it.
Speaker:But when you have people passing by your booth and seeing
Speaker:your display in your work right there in front of them,
Speaker:and you can tell them the stories behind the picture,
Speaker:that's where I really enjoy the business side of it is
Speaker:meeting the people and getting out there to the fairs.
Speaker:So I wouldn't say that it's so much done out of
Speaker:the home.
Speaker:I do frame and everything here at the house,
Speaker:but I get out there to the shows.
Speaker:So Your photography studio is the desert.
Speaker:Your production studio is the home.
Speaker:And then your selling arena really is the shows and some
Speaker:online cause you do have the website as well.
Speaker:Yes. How did that all come together?
Speaker:How did you decide that this was going to be the
Speaker:way it would all Work?
Speaker:Well, it's still a work in progress and I'm still tweaking
Speaker:and evolving and trying to figure things out.
Speaker:But I wanted to do the shows because I like to
Speaker:go to shows and I have almost always bought things at
Speaker:shows that I've gone to just because it's there and it's
Speaker:accessible and it's just different than putting in your PayPal number
Speaker:Along the way.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:you've talked about how this whole thing has just blossomed into
Speaker:something probably bigger than you even imagined,
Speaker:but can you bring us to a time when you were
Speaker:really challenged with this and kind of thinking like,
Speaker:oh my gosh,
Speaker:what have I gotten into and am I going to continue?
Speaker:This might be just a little bit too much,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:some type of time when you were really not so sure
Speaker:about the whole,
Speaker:what Are the biggest struggles and challenges that I have is
Speaker:understanding all the paperwork for filing the taxes for working in
Speaker:different counties,
Speaker:in different cities,
Speaker:within those different counties and their tax laws and who I
Speaker:have to pay taxes to,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:and making sure everything is perfect and correct.
Speaker:That is my biggest challenge because I find all that paperwork
Speaker:and everything.
Speaker:So confusing.
Speaker:Thank goodness I have a good accountant.
Speaker:Who's kind of able to help me sort through that.
Speaker:Every time I get some weird piece of paper from the
Speaker:tax office that I don't know what it means or whatever
Speaker:it does kind of make me feel like sometimes what am
Speaker:I doing?
Speaker:Maybe I should just go back to taking these pictures for
Speaker:fun. That's definitely been a challenge.
Speaker:And then also just overcoming the skeptics.
Speaker:Sometimes I've had people come to me with the best intentions
Speaker:to kind of caution me in pursuing this interest because nobody
Speaker:could make money at this,
Speaker:or there's so many other great photographers or,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:you're just spinning your wheels.
Speaker:And I just smile and let them know.
Speaker:I appreciate their concern.
Speaker:And then I just let it roll off my back,
Speaker:like water off a Duck's back.
Speaker:And you'd certainly need to be able to do that.
Speaker:It sounds like from the little bit that I've gotten to
Speaker:know you already,
Speaker:your husband is a huge supporter and give business owners.
Speaker:If you don't have that type of support,
Speaker:it's really a struggle.
Speaker:RC is really lucky because she does have that support from
Speaker:her husband.
Speaker:But if you don't,
Speaker:there are different types of networking.
Speaker:You can go to chambers,
Speaker:you can be with possibly friends and or family that support
Speaker:you, but you absolutely need someone who is backing.
Speaker:You believes in you all the way so that you can
Speaker:become successful.
Speaker:It's really simple.
Speaker:Well, I couldn't do this without his support.
Speaker:I absolutely could not do this.
Speaker:If he didn't support me.
Speaker:Have You ever had any challenges at the shows at your
Speaker:booth or?
Speaker:Yeah. I mean,
Speaker:if there's a lot of people asking questions and needing my
Speaker:attention up at the same time,
Speaker:that can get a little challenging.
Speaker:Cause I want to give everybody individual attention,
Speaker:but sometimes it's difficult if I have people coming at me
Speaker:from all sides and I can get a little confused easily.
Speaker:Sometimes. Do you any tips for those who are doing fairs
Speaker:or shows on how to handle that type of situation,
Speaker:You have to give everything you can to the person who's
Speaker:right in front of you and try to tell the other
Speaker:people that,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:you'll be with them in a minute that you want to
Speaker:answer their questions.
Speaker:And you'll do that.
Speaker:As soon as you finish up with the individual that you
Speaker:have in front of you,
Speaker:but I'm still like that's still a work in progress as
Speaker:well. What you brought up is a good point because even
Speaker:though you're giving the person that you're talking to directly your
Speaker:full attention,
Speaker:you're not totally ignoring that other person.
Speaker:You're saying,
Speaker:look, I recognize that you're here.
Speaker:I'm looking forward to talking to you.
Speaker:I'll be with you as soon as I can.
Speaker:So you're still being very respectful to other people that you've
Speaker:noticed really do want to talk.
Speaker:Oh, absolutely.
Speaker:I've worked in the retail industry,
Speaker:almost my whole life prior to this.
Speaker:So I've been in sales and I'm also a picky customer.
Speaker:So I know what I expect when I'm on the other
Speaker:side of the counter as well,
Speaker:to be quite Honest,
Speaker:I don't feel too sorry for people who have to wait.
Speaker:Cause they get to look at all the beautiful photography.
Speaker:RC, can you share with us some type of a promotion
Speaker:or one of those specific events or something that you're doing
Speaker:at those events that really changed for you and helped move
Speaker:the needle in terms of people purchasing your photography?
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:I was approached by a member of the Phoenix herpetological society.
Speaker:If I would donate a piece of original work for their
Speaker:silent auction for their big fundraiser.
Speaker:And I did,
Speaker:and frankly,
Speaker:I was a little nervous that no one would bid on
Speaker:it or it might get,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:maybe a $5 pity bid or something like that.
Speaker:So I was really nervous about that.
Speaker:Well, not only did people bid on it,
Speaker:but they almost needed an extra sheet of paper for all
Speaker:the bids that were on this piece of work.
Speaker:And I was so humbled and surprised when later I was
Speaker:told by the event staff that this was the first time
Speaker:that a piece of donated work had surpassed their seed price
Speaker:of any auction item.
Speaker:It was an amazing feeling to know that my contribution raised
Speaker:awareness and funds for scientific research and reptile rescue efforts.
Speaker:That's so very passionate to me and seeing that interest in
Speaker:my work and that not only did it sell,
Speaker:but it went for way above the asking price that gave
Speaker:me the confidence that I need to just keep going on.
Speaker:Wow. What was the photograph of the photograph is of a
Speaker:yellow mud turtle with its reflection and the turtle looks like
Speaker:it has a smile on its face.
Speaker:It's one of my most popular photos.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:RC, that's really good feedback because I think a lot of
Speaker:people get approached all the time for,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:donating to this event and this event.
Speaker:And some people I think,
Speaker:feel like,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:that's just freebies and it's not going to give them additional
Speaker:visibility or help them with additional sales at all.
Speaker:Did you see that,
Speaker:then this spread the word about your business and your photos?
Speaker:Oh, Absolutely.
Speaker:Yeah. There is no bad publicity and it did help to
Speaker:spread the word about my work and get people more familiar
Speaker:with me.
Speaker:They had done the Phoenix herb society had done a beautiful
Speaker:bio of me that accompanied my work,
Speaker:anything you can do to get out there.
Speaker:And it,
Speaker:and it's not just that there is a huge component in
Speaker:giving back to your community and giving back to your causes
Speaker:that I fully believe comes back to you.
Speaker:Oh, agreed the switching over then on the customer service.
Speaker:And is there anything special that you do to make people
Speaker:who then receive one of your fabulous photographs,
Speaker:make them feel special and valued as a customer now of
Speaker:yours? I really like to engage people personally and I enjoy
Speaker:the one-on-one connections that I've made with them.
Speaker:For example,
Speaker:at one of my shows,
Speaker:somebody bought a dozen photographs and asked me to personalize each
Speaker:of them.
Speaker:And I was very happy to do that.
Speaker:I like talking to people.
Speaker:I like giving them photography tips.
Speaker:I get asked for tips and tricks all the time when
Speaker:I'm doing these shows.
Speaker:And that is something that I'm able to give back.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:if I can help them take a better picture by just
Speaker:giving them one good piece of advice that they've asked for,
Speaker:that's a way that I can make them feel valued and
Speaker:special because I'm willing to share my heart with them.
Speaker:I love that because that's something that you're doing directly from
Speaker:you. Yes.
Speaker:It's not like something else that you apply to the photograph
Speaker:or that you do later.
Speaker:It's something directly from you are see the photographer of the
Speaker:piece that they're purchasing.
Speaker:It's an additional conversation point if someone's with a friend or
Speaker:something and they're looking at the photos.
Speaker:Yes, absolutely.
Speaker:Let's flip over now into our reflection section.
Speaker:This is a look at you and what's helped you to
Speaker:succeed along the way.
Speaker:What would be one natural trait that you have that you
Speaker:think has helped you to succeed?
Speaker:Well, my father taught me from a young age,
Speaker:the importance of being outgoing and being comfortable with approaching people.
Speaker:And I feel like I am very good at talking to
Speaker:people and I make myself very approachable.
Speaker:So people aren't afraid to come to me.
Speaker:And I have a kind of a natural ability to network
Speaker:and approach people without a fear of rejection.
Speaker:I get told no quite often,
Speaker:but I don't ever take it personally.
Speaker:And I don't let the fear of being told,
Speaker:no, stop me from embracing,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:whatever might be the next opportunity.
Speaker:So Have you always been that way or is this a
Speaker:characteristic that you've kind of gotten into over time?
Speaker:I didn't start out that way when I was very young,
Speaker:but it's something that I've developed over time.
Speaker:I've seen it work so well for other people and I've
Speaker:seen how it can hold people who are not comfortable networking
Speaker:and not comfortable approaching people.
Speaker:I've seen how we can actually hold them back.
Speaker:Good advice and good characteristic.
Speaker:And I think your point here about you maybe didn't have
Speaker:it when you were younger,
Speaker:but you've learned the benefits of just being able to jump
Speaker:back is an important thing for all of us to remember,
Speaker:because you know,
Speaker:when you're so passionate,
Speaker:especially with your industry being photography,
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:these are your pictures.
Speaker:This is coming from the lens through your eye and the
Speaker:light set up and all of that.
Speaker:You could take it personally because it's such a personal product
Speaker:that you're creating.
Speaker:And to be able to overcome that really says a lot
Speaker:to you and your future to be quite honest.
Speaker:Well, photography is just another art form.
Speaker:What may be beautiful in the eye of one bill holder
Speaker:may not be beautiful or interesting in the eye of another
Speaker:and not everybody's going to like,
Speaker:or appreciate the same art.
Speaker:And so I never take it personally if somebody doesn't like
Speaker:my work because there's somebody else that'll think it's amazing Go
Speaker:there's somebody else who will think it's amazing.
Speaker:What tool do you use regularly to keep productive or to
Speaker:create balance in your life?
Speaker:I love social media.
Speaker:I use Facebook and Pinterest flicker very regularly to connect with
Speaker:people and look at other people's photography and get inspiration from
Speaker:their work as well.
Speaker:So I'm on the computer,
Speaker:either editing or going through my social media accounts and looking
Speaker:at what people are saying and what they're doing.
Speaker:Have You found that you've gotten business through your social media?
Speaker:I have definitely gotten business through my social media.
Speaker:I put out a calendar last year for this year and
Speaker:a lot of my sales came from Facebook and people sharing
Speaker:and talking about the calendar.
Speaker:And when I would show,
Speaker:oh, look at this picture that I'm going to put in
Speaker:it, someone inevitably be like,
Speaker:oh, I want one of those.
Speaker:How do I get that?
Speaker:And then I would direct them to my website where my
Speaker:PayPal button was.
Speaker:Okay. So let's back this up and talk about this a
Speaker:little. Well,
Speaker:I put together a wall calendar and then I would post
Speaker:pictures that were in the calendar on Facebook to give people
Speaker:an idea of the work that would be shown in there.
Speaker:And that generated interest in that generated sales.
Speaker:So you put together a calendar that people could purchase.
Speaker:Correct. Got it.
Speaker:Okay. Then you'd put up a picture.
Speaker:Let's say it was for that month and post that,
Speaker:and then people would see it and be interested not only
Speaker:in that,
Speaker:but in all of your photography.
Speaker:Correct. What book have you read lately that you think our
Speaker:listeners could find value in The books that I find helpful
Speaker:and valuable are ones that help to give me increased knowledge
Speaker:of my subject.
Speaker:One of those books is a book from authors,
Speaker:Harvey Poe,
Speaker:pristine Janice and John Heisler.
Speaker:And it's called vertebrate life because it's very important for me
Speaker:to understand the animals that I'm going to be photographing to
Speaker:know what time of day there'll be most active or what
Speaker:kind of behaviors can I expect when I come across that
Speaker:certain animal,
Speaker:I would encourage anybody who is pursuing anything as a hobby
Speaker:or a business to immerse yourself in as much information as
Speaker:you can for your subject.
Speaker:Really good advice.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:some of these creepy crawly things,
Speaker:how close do you get to them?
Speaker:Well, generally I'm within,
Speaker:depending on what it is,
Speaker:it could be a few inches for a scorpion or some
Speaker:or a spider to generally the venomous snakes,
Speaker:the rattlesnakes,
Speaker:I will stay about two and a half,
Speaker:three feet,
Speaker:depending on the species.
Speaker:Some species I will give a little bit of a longer
Speaker:reach, too Gift buzzers,
Speaker:just as you're listening to the podcast today,
Speaker:you can also listen to audio books with ease.
Speaker:I've teamed up with audible for you to be able to
Speaker:get an audio book similar to the one that RC is
Speaker:talking about today for free.
Speaker:All you need to do is go to gift biz,
Speaker:book.com and make a selection that's gift biz,
Speaker:book.com. I'm going to slip in one other question here,
Speaker:RC, because I'm just fascinated by all of this.
Speaker:Do you have one single favorite photo that just is by
Speaker:for you just the best of all that you've ever done?
Speaker:What am I absolute?
Speaker:Favorite photos is a photo that I took of two caterpillars.
Speaker:And what I did is I found all these tomato horn
Speaker:worm caterpillars,
Speaker:which are green and white and purple.
Speaker:And I plucked them off of my honeysuckle Bush.
Speaker:And I went and I bought some beautiful send flowers.
Speaker:And I put the caterpillars in a tank with the sunflowers
Speaker:and then for the next five or six hours,
Speaker:I just photograph them just doing whatever they wanted to do
Speaker:in there.
Speaker:And there's one photo that I call celebration where it has
Speaker:two caterpillars that have rear to facing each other with these
Speaker:flowers in the background.
Speaker:People have thought that I stuck a mirror in front of
Speaker:the caterpillar,
Speaker:but when you really look at the photo,
Speaker:you can tell that that's not,
Speaker:it it's just an authentic behavior.
Speaker:And it's just very,
Speaker:very unique and probably a photo I would never ever be
Speaker:able to recreate.
Speaker:Well, they ended up being good models for you and they
Speaker:were fantastic models.
Speaker:And I believe you have that photo on your website.
Speaker:Yes, I do going to be coming to the end of
Speaker:our time together in a minute.
Speaker:But before we do,
Speaker:I want to get to our dare to dream question RC.
