Finally got the app to follow those I like to follow. I have put off photography so much in the last few years and it’s so confusing to me. I think the issue is it forces me to sit still at a computer and process afterwards and I don’t have a desire to do that much these days. I have not processed anything since moving here 3.5 years ago! And because I don’t like sitting and processing, I haven’t taken many photos outside of my travels …. Gotta figure out how to change that!
Someone advised my once to make a ritual out of it -- like make a fragrant tea, light a candle, add some ceremony to get you started. Sometimes that really works for me! I'm also reading We Need Your Art and I'm really intrigued by her suggestion of setting bare minimums (embarrassingly easy goals . . . like edit 1 photo a week?) to begin building trust with yourself and also bare maximums (limiting how much you do so you don't go overboard and burn out/get overwhelmed). I'm contemplating how to enact this!

That is an intriguing concept. Like a 10 photo minimum on a weekend day seems very doable! (Unless I’m on call lol) Pondering how to make this work!
