I know that there are lots of people on here from different walks of life and different backgrounds. I am a Trugreen Lawn Tech by day,and an Olive Garden server at night. I work 90 hours a week. I find myself getting upset cause i don't have time to comment on peoples photos, or take photos myself. Any pointers?
I only work fourty hours a week and still don't have enough time to comment enough. Please don't feel bad! But the picture taking part, I think you can do. Just always keep your camera with you and the second you think there is something worth taking a picture of: DO IT!! Your priority should be picture taking, you can upload whenever you have time, but don't let it go longer than a couple of days without uploading as it will then become overwhelming (I know from experience myself), and you will start not doing it or not taking pictures. Feel better! Hugs!
If you are working 90 hours a week, you deserve some down time. Does photography provide that relaxation or is it just another stressor? Only you can answer that. Once you do, you'll be able to see where this project fits in your life. Maybe this is the year to just post on flickr.
@allie912 It is something that honestly my wife loved doing. I was always supportive of her. She has always taken great photos (rendermemama). I do it to have something to bond with her. She is a perposeful photographer, mine are mostly by chance. I do love it though.
I am worried that I will get too busy and boring when school starts and I am teaching again with a more than two hour commute. I don't even know my own name when I am at work, then rush home to chores. It is a grind. I think it may kill all creativity...it takes time to be creative. But I will do it, even if the pics are not good and they are boring. I hope!
I am retired and I don't even have the time to comment every day! I am trying a new schedule in which I take pictures in part of the day, look through my pictures and select one for 365 in another part of the day, and then end up my day looking at the great pictures here.
