This is a playlist of favourite tracks of mine which I have used in previous videos: share.mscbd.fm/seantuckerplaylist
This video talks about some of the things I'm learning from being stuck in liminal spaces. Being stuck between homes, relationships, friendships and creative projects is teaching me to let go of control, be kinder to myself and take the opporunities fresh starts offer us to tweak ourselves into a better human beings through honest introspection.

I got to say. I don’t come here for photography tips. I come here to be encouraged, and strengthened; determined to push through whatever I may be going through each day and continue to do what I love. I existential depression is no joke and I know that
Picking up my camera will help me 1000%. I watch these videos to feel better about not wanting to pick my camera up
I said it before, on this channel - I came here for the photography, i stayed for the philosophy. :)
Don't know you man but I personally know the state of being when facing seemingly unanswerable existential questions. And I know this one thing, life is worth living because if the good news of Jesus is true one thing it means is that Creator has not abandoned us and he's not abandoned you. Wish you all the motivation you need to capture the gift of life with your camera
@@kristogirma8319 No offense man, i know you mean well... but i wish religious people would stop instantly bringing their god into practically everything. You don't see agnostics and atheists including their views on god and religion in every possible occasion...
@@DobromirManchev I use to feel the way you do...but then I had to ask myself...why am I so put out when someone who believes is just sharing a positive message about it? What am I afraid of when someone mentions Jesus Christ, God or religion etc? I now try to follow this rule...I respect anyone trying to bring a positive message into the world, even if it doesn't perfectly align with my belief system. We're all just trying to find our way in this f'd up world and if Jesus Christ is what Kristo needs to be better and be a good person...I'm OK with that. Be well! Benjamin
@@DobromirManchev why? Why do atheists bring it up? The metaphysical question of theism? As one myself sometimes just accept that the religious believe and i probably cant change that. As a humanist and pluralist i accept that often this is the way a person expresses support and warmth, essentially more important/valuable things in life than asking "does god exist"
So why be surprised that God is used to express something? Most the world is religious. The unfalsifiable question of existence is getting boring, and often isnt really the point in whats saidm
My first wife left very suddenly, it took me 12 years to trust someone enough to let them close, very long story short, wife number 2 is the loveliest lady you could ever hope to meet, 18 years together and still holding hands and cuddling on the sofa at every opportunity 😃
I honestly don't know how you deliver such sentiment with such profound wisdom and yet show such vulnerability, you are a phenomenal human being Sean. Can't wait to see what projects you create once your chrysalis breaks to reveal your new self.
Love these moments of vulnerability and transparency Sean. They help so much more than you know.
I couldn't agree more!
@@gpdoyon Exactly so.
He's talking about me right now.
It’s always a pleasure to view your videos, not simply because of the photography content but for the philosophical and visual beauty of the cinematic and music - always coming together as a finely orchestrated gift. Thank you for continuing your Zen-like productions and forward vision.
Keep up the great work.
Lost a relationship , had a professional crisis afterwards, ended up living at my parent's again... But all that just retired all I was doing wrong, and forced me to think for the first time the big questions.
Please know that not only you will be grateful for this rough patch, your life will be greater, and you'll live a happier life from all the learnings and growth from all this.
This makes me remember your "embrace your shadows" video. I will go look at it again.
"Anger is just a sign of fear" ... Great line!
Just two things that crossed my mind when I watched your video (as indeed most of your videos): First, if your former employer, the Church, had the slightest inkling of how touching and convincing a speaker (they call it preacher, I guess) they have lost, they should be genuinely shocked. But then again, arguably, they don't deserve talent like you. Second, how can someone so much younger than me be so much wiser and more eloquent about life (and photography, which I've dabbled with for 37 years), which makes watching your videos almost a humbling experience. But, you know what, at the same time it's also uplifting and helps to restore one's faith in and appreciation of people and the power and beauty of the human spirit.
That's so kind Marc, thank you.
I don’t know how, but you always seem to be sending the exact message I need to hear most precisely when I need to hear it! Wishing you nothing but the best and thanking you from the bottom my heart for so graciously sharing of yourself & your experience with others.
Being stuck in a liminal space now, I feel like this was just the right nudge to grow my self out of it and not look back at it in anger. Thank you Sean.
One thing I have learnt is that you cannot judge the sum of a situation as good or bad until possibly even years down the line. A very unpleasant situation in my teens led to me discovering a sport that later became a passion and brought me deep and lasting friendships that endure to this day, and things experienced when my father was dying from cancer later gave me the strength and wisdom to help a good friend in a similar position.
I’ve fallen off a cliff a few times and wondered how life could be good again only for it to become much better. Hang on in there.
I came to your channel because of photography and now I´m here because of you, Sean. Because od your wisdom, humanity and beauty. Thank you for your openness. And now, at the beginning of a new chapter in your life, I wish you a beautiful summer filled with inspiration, poetry and the magic of life.
I admire how you're able to open up about the difficult stuff, takes a lot of courage and you communicate it so beautifully, I want my non photographer friends to watch this
Listening to you I came to understand that the pandemic was one giant liminal space for all humanity. Knowing that made me feel less alone. Thank you.
Your sharing of yourself, personally, is just a bonus to the talent and skill you bring.
Some of my worst times in life turned out to be the best times, in retrospect.
Thank you for the insight.
If it’s not (emotionally) painful, it’s not growth. All growth is painful…but worth it.
yeah, same here. sold my archery business and wanted to move to Austria, but due to the situation, I still stuck here in Malta. Living out of my boxes too. But I simply accept what is, do what I do, knowing things happen for a reason. I keep an open mind and heart and simply go on
A friend of mine closely follows your work and sent this video to me. It was exactly what I needed at a point in my life where I felt like so much came to an end so suddenly. To think about this period of time like this and to take advantage of it has been a nice shift in mindset. I'm a firm believer of things happen for you and not to you, as difficult as it is to go through it. Thank you for your vulnerability and transparency.
Thanks my friend. I'm glad it helped.
Feelings that come along with fear can be re-cast as feelings of excitement. Being stuck inbetween can be-cast as being free. You are at a great time in your life, a time when you are free to explore new projects, places and relationships. Embrace it. (OK, almost always easier said than done, but worth saying.)
The opening videos are amazing. Framed like photographs, beginning in stillness, coming to life. Mysterious. Magical. ... Embracing the liminal. Every moment in our lives holds the seeds of new beginnings. Every moment is also the falling apart of what was. How I cling to the known, shy away from the unknown... Except... except when I am as fully in the present moment as I can be, when time stops, when the mind shifts into a mode of curiosity and wonder. The stories matter less. The heart break shifts to a tenderness of emotion, beyond the story line - being human - alive, breathing, seeing, feeling. A place where art happens. ... Thank you for taking me there with you.
I needed this.
"A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there"
You have no idea Sean Tucker how much I needed to hear this "again".
I had the great pleasure to meet and do a workshop with Mark Fearnley on Saturday … he said that you were truly a humble, honest and lovely fella. That really comes across in your Vlogs so much and I wish you well. Hopefully one day I can add into my journal ‘Today, I had the honour and pleasure to meet Sean Tucker …” Best wishes mate … I’m sure that corner is about to be turned … 😊
That's very kind Robin. Mark is a legend:)
I'm watching this in a Radisson hotel room-a place I absolutely had NOT planned to be. Weird family stuff. Thanks for sharing this, Sean.
It can take a while to get back to the surface, but when you do, the air may not be sweeter, but different and you learn to breathe a different way. The roadblocks don’t stop you for long and you’ll learn to see them in a different way. Be patient and you will settle into the next stage of your life. I know, as I’ve experienced a similar situation. Stay strong and don’t rush things
We were in York just before the shut down so it is nice to see how the river normally flows. I love these videos that discuss life. We all have motivations for how, when and where we do things. Sometimes traumatic events push us to new adventures and others encourage us to stay put and become stronger. Thanks for this video. You have two feet, Sean, they are meant to land on. I am glad that you are finding yours. York is beautiful.
i have never seen this as an exclusive photography channel. Photography got me here but its the philosophy, the outlooks on life and Sean himself that keeps me coming back. My favourite videos are ones like this. Thank you Sean.
Once again, an intelligent and sensitive video by an intelligent, sensitive young man. I appreciate all of your videos. Once again, thank you.
Going through all this stuff and yet helping others. I admire every single word i've just heard.. thank you.
Sean, my favorite thing about your channel is that it feels like meditation. I can trust that if I am stuck I can come here and find a starting point for self reflection. Thank you.
You are such a kind person and a talented photographer. I wish you all the best in life, you deserve it. Chin up! :) i love your channel
I only discovered your channel recently but I'm so glad I did! I am an amatuer photographer, but your talks on philosophy and dealing with life's challenges have spoken to me on another level. Thank you for sharing these things in this way, and know that your videos have been helping me with a challenging period of my life and, I'm sure, many others would say the same.
Good point about liminal space Sean. I'm 62 now and can clearly see how every time of great difficulty and unwanted change in my life has led me to somewhere very positive that I would never have arrived otherwise and, looking back, I'm happy that they happened. We have many potential lives and they'll all include both great and good things. Changes and challenges are opportunities for adventure, learning and growth. Best wishes for this new stage of your life and respect for creating this excellent channel (and I'm not here for the photography aspect).
In education, the concept of luminal spaces is key, because it’s in those spaces that we truly learn. Thank you for this video and your vulnerability.
I've watched thousands of youtube videos and never commented on a single one. But I'll have to change that with this one. Thank you so much for this! You have an ability to articulate some heavy stuff while remaining relatable. I appreciate you, and I wish you the best!
The resonance of all of that is deeply felt here, Sean. Thanks for sharing your story!
Just had a similar experience also in April. I received no alarming phone call on the M1 and can appreciate how that must have felt. I swung left onto the M6 and am now in walking distance of “another place”. Anthony Gormley placed his hundred iron men here,due to the light, from a shortlist of spots along the Atlantic coast of Europe. It’s “where the light gets in”. You could find that light on one of your long drives. Get onto to A59 west and keep going until you arrive. ND filters useful. Good luck with the new start.
Love you, Sean. You are such a blessing to us. Praying for your journey.
Thank you Sean, wishing you the best!
Much to think about...thank you!
thank you so much. this is exactly what i needed to hear
I really appreciate this. This wasn't what I was expecting, but this came on a day that I needed this message the most.
Thank you Sean. Thank you for helping us move forward regardless of our struggles are.
Thanks for this talk, Sean. May you be encouraged and inspired as you wait.
You have no idea how much inspiration and encouragement I feel whenever I watch your videos specially these kinds. Thanks Sean.
lovely to see you recognising the difficult patch as a opportunity moment to grow and develop
keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending my best wishes, hope for our paths to cross again
Thank you, Sean. Looking forward to getting your book.
Thanks for sharing.. thought provoking as usual 🙏🏽❤️
What a video. Offff.. Thank you, Sean, for this..
Very encouraging. Thank you!
Life has thrown you so many curve balls and your outlook and strength is inspirational. Having been through a separation and loosing a home and much more than I want to share here. It’s the escapism of photography and the constant learning from it that has got my through so much. Being on my own in nature with a camera and my thoughts, and looking at life through a lens has helped me keep focused (pun intended)
Thank you Sean for you great videos and advice not just on photography. I look forward to all your videos.
Great video Sean. Thank you.
A million love for you Sean Tucker.
Love the video. Thanks Sean
Well the most beautiful flowers grow out in the wild, so we really need to hang in there, learn to appreciate the discomfort, and be sure we'll deeply develop in the process. I am grateful for this wholesome and personal content, it came to me at a perfect timing. Hope it all works out for you as well, we are together and getting stronger by the hour. Best!
Thanks for being open with me/us about your struggles, and helping us all understand and keep a proper perspective. Good luck with your future.
Thank you for being the way you are. I always feel so grateful for your videos and for the hope that is reignited every time I listen to you. Thank you Sean.
Thank you, Sean. Your opening video is beautiful. Wishing you the best always. Will be watching for your book.
Beautiful, fully-lived wisdom again. Thank you.
Keep being you and we’ll keep watching and supporting you. You’re exactly right, art (I.e. photography) is nothing without the emotion behind it.
Thanks for sharing your idea and thinking. Very greatful!
Beautiful video as always, both visually and content wise
Thank you Sean ❤️ needed to hear this
Thank you Sean. I wish you all the best. Thank you
Beautiful message Sean! Very encouraging...thank you! And the absolute truth of course too. Wishing you much love and light...in the liminal space and beyond!
I needed this.
Thank you.
Sean, you have no idea how much I needed to hear this, thank you very much my friend.
Bless you Sean....!
Sean, the bad ending is a sign of a new beginning is so true. I had something similar happen to me years ago, she left , not until 3 years later I found out it was the absolute best thing that could ever happen to me. All I can say is it will improve, trust in your words ! Fellow TH-camr !
Thanks for the encouragement.
THANKS again for sharing this, Sean. It's really precious in general. Sending you Love and Blessings.
A piece of a life... your artistic and spiritual mind make the whole message speak to our hearts. Thank you Sean.
Very timely and very much appreciated. Thank you and all the very best Sean.
Thanks for sharing this and for talking about what you are doing to journal and move through these challenges.
Amen.
Thank you, Sean, for publishing your incredibly salvaging and comforting videos.
thank you, good timing. I needed to hear this,
Thank you Sean, helping others when you are working through your own difficulties is a measure of your character and integrity.
Truly inspirational, I can’t thank you enough for being so honest and open about yourself life. It’s helping so many, including me, cope with some dark days. Thank you Sean.
Thank you so much for this Sean, it summarises where I am now very well and it's time to start again, but slowly.
Thank you Sean. I appreciate your words of encouragement after a particularly bad day for me. You are such a kind and thoughtful person
Thank you Sean! You have no idea how important this message was for me right now!
Another wonderfully insightful video Sean ... and well timed! Thanks for showing us a better path.
Thank you for your wise words.
Thanks so much for these insightful discussions - truly unique - inspirational.
So incredibly inspiring Sean...This really struck a chord here....can't thank you enough 🙏
Sean, you are a brilliant person and I appreciate your comments. Find a way to laugh...not at a comedian, a movie...at yourself and the circumstances that keep arising. Next time I watch you on this channel, I want to see you smile and laugh.
Loved this Sean, I always feel so much more inspired after watching your vlogs, thank you.
I'm so sorry for your troubles Sean. You are so talented, and your honesty and transparency translates to your art. God bless you.
Thank you for this! It really helped me.
Thank you for sharing this video, kind sir. I hope you're able to find the strength to get through this time. This video helped me gain insight into my current situation; very relatable.
It is so necessary to listen this things sometimes , just get you closer to your fans , cause we realize that you are human as we are.....So important and deep.. Thank you for sharing !
This video really hit a nerve. Thank you for making it.
Sean, difficult to express how much I enjoy your channel. I learn a lot from it. The honesty and openness is always profound and humbling. The photography’s quite good too. Thanks.
Great share Sean thank you for these gems filled with empathy and grace, keep the fire going my friend.
Thank you brother. Feels like I'm not alone anymore and this is a huge first step for me. God bless you. Love from France
