Boy do I need a sustainable workflow.
The other day I was listening to the Beginners Photography Podcast with Dan Milnor.
Dan was sharing a little bit of his origin story.
Dan was news photographer for a local paper. Of course, he was on assignment, and had to turn in work.
Now, I’m no news photographer, but I thought, what if I were to replicate being a news photographer with my blog.
In other words, I’d write copy and try add a photo to go with the copy.
In fact, I think it would be cool if I could add my Pic of the Day with my Skating the River post. Kinda of like killing two birds with one stone (sorry vegetarians).
So I wanted to post those pics of Dawali festival before I went to SWYM and post it in my Facebook feed as well as my blog.
It didn’t happen. The Sunday got away from me.
I had a lot of pics to sort through, while dealing with the RAW + JPEG images, plus editing the ones I did like.
Now, RAW images do take awhile to edit.
It maybe that I need to commit to JPEG for awhile I practice and just do RAW later when I get the hang of it.
I don’t know. Either way, I need a workflow and I need some kind of small win, because there not a lot of winning going on. And well, that’s a problem.
The only thing I’ve got going creatively is this damn blog steak, but even that proving to be a little bit difficult with keeping up with it.
The only thing about this blog is that at lest I feel like I’m getting rid of the surface stuff and having to dig a little bit deeper at times.
Like I’m just scratching the surface of what it’s my head.
Still, I need to figure out a way to grow the the things I went to grow, but still having an issue growing those things. If that makes any sense.
I keep thinking if I do this or that, maybe it’ll all start working or at lest I’ll get a bearing on which direction I want to take things, but I’m running out of time.
The other good thing is that I’m getting back into my faith.
I got a little prayer card yesterday and one of the things it has is starting off prayer in gratitude.
I do have a lot to be grateful for, but often times, especially now, being grateful can be pretty hard.
Still, my list is long, but my mind reverts back to what I had, what I want, and what I’m lacking.
It’s a tough spot, but I’m glad I’m praying again, even though my prayers are a little dry.
Now, I’m aware that prayer isn’t a silver bullet. It was never meant to be.
Prayer is something you keep plugging away at in faith.
God will answer prayer in His time not ours.
