Billy Dinh
Episode 20: Show Notes.
Today NorCal sits down with Brooklyn-based photographer and talented artist Billy Dinh! Billy's past clients include Microsoft Xbox, and he's been published in Street Dreams Magazine, Fstoppers, ExpertPhotography, and CNN News. Hear about a burglary and a trip to Iceland that pivoted him into dedicating his whole artistic self to photography, his hesitant jump into the NFT space, and the book he recommends that every creative should read! Billy also shares some insightful advice about two things you need to maintain your sanity as an artist: patience and a sense of balance, plus the best advice he's ever received that gives a mind-blowing new perspective on when to worry. We also hear why he's a fuzzy bear, what about Japan beckons him to live there one day, and some brilliant questions that might just draw NorCal back into the space as an artist himself. Thanks for joining and let's jump into another great conversation!
