About this FieldTrip

Archives are magic! Thanks to the power of the internet, your next creative project could be built, assembled, remixed, or woven with free media from the past. Whether your interest is science or pop culture, there are databases out there that have archived and cataloged images, videos, and audio that fit your needs. Attendees on this Field Trip will learn where these resources are and how to use them, with a quick brush-up on copyrights. Attendees will be empowered to incorporate often-free media assets into their next projects to add some depth and originality that no stock photo company will ever match.

About your Host
Dustin Renwick is a freelance journalist and triathlete whose work has appeared in places such as National Geographic, The Washington Post, and Triathlete. His book, Beyond the Gray Leaf, is the biography of a forgotten Civil War poet. Feel free to ask him about breakfast cereals.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
