okay, back to it.

I’ve got some ideas kicking around for future posts, For now though, I want to talk about something I learned about motivation, specifically where I got stuck and how I got out of my stuck. 😅

First, I haven’t been lazy. I’ve been shooting regularly and staying on top of my editing, but recently I stopped using Twitter and Instagram, my main ways of sharing content. It was a hard decision to make and sometimes I feel like that is what caused my desire to create to decrease the most. But then I thought, “I have been creating.” Here’s some recent stuff.

See? I’ve been doing stuff! What I realized though is that I need a bigger project to want to share. I felt the single photo to instagram and the quickness of Twitter were causing me to feel a bit insincere. I also didn’t feel substance in the way in which I was sending out. It just felt like noise. When I share content I enjoy being a little verbose while doing so, and like for it to have some intentionality behind it. Hopefully you don’t mind it 🙃

here’s the plan

Here’s the big thing I learned; planning is a legendary skill that I didn’t have as well understood as I thought. I was mixing up priority setting with planning, or mistaking one for the other or something like that. My brain is weird, but we got past it and came to an understanding: I like having a plan, even more than Earl from the movie ‘Tremors’.

So, the plan is a blog post a month, and the topics will range from tips, examples of different uses of settings, DSLR vs iPhone camera challenges, answering Q&A, and other stories from adventures we go on.

I sure am glad you’re here along for the ride.
