I can never figure out if I enjoy taking photos enough, because I think at the age where I could have grown the hobby, I was given harsh feedback with no clear instruction of how to improve.
I remember how it felt to be told it wasn’t good enough, but not how to get better. I try my best not to do that with people now, but taking this photo of my desk was a good reminder.
I was 16 then, and I’m 36 now. In twenty years, how much have I changed as a creative? I think my eyes have sharpened, and I know what exactly I look out for when trying to make something work. That being said, I am behind on a couple of projects and I would like to get a bit more on track. But having a newborn does make me consider life a little differently.
What if I did what everyone has been recommending me to do, and to land hard on one or two major interests/angles during this time? Perhaps I would get an improved focus on what exactly I like and what I want to go all in on.
But I kinda enjoy my all in on the work I’m doing now with Through The Roof. It does work out well. Perhaps something for me to consider in the time coming up.
