I'm a photographer and mentor from Melbourne Australia. My heart belongs in the Himalayas and Arctic Scandinavia. I'll have a little bit of gear on here, but mostly I want to talk about creativity and the creative process for photography. There's also a podcast version of my video logs if you want to listen instead of watch.

I have struggled to find my mojo for a while now, but recently something happened that really turned things around. It was good news for me, and perhaps it could be a useful perspective for your mojo too.

I usually share my photos and ideas about photography on my channel, but today I'm sharing a few home-truths about life in the freelance lane.

Apologies also that on the day I recorded my primary mic failed and I had to cobble the audio together off the backup mic and it was a little over-baked. Oh well, loads of lessons to learn this week!

I've been fighting with motivation this week as well. Having deadlines as the school year comes to a close is having me power through it a bit, but as you say, the tasks where I'm helping others require me to fight a lot less to get things done.

@crash@tube.fediverse.games Part of me wants to give myself permission to under achieve, but that's not great where school deadlines are concerned! There are times to rest, and times to step forward. I want to live a life without feeling I need to be dragged into stuff, and just enjoy doing it instead.
