im in the same boat. I have a toddler son with another baby coming any day now. While I don’t own a business I do work my 40 hours, cook, clean (because my very pregnant wife doesn’t need to do that after watching our toddler all day) then I try to find time to study for classes to move up in my current job.
…….. but damn do I love photography.
What really gave me motivation was to work on a series of pieces that relate to each other and have more of a message. Since I shoot film, there’s costs to that as well as props, backgrounds, etc, so it’s taken me a bit of time. But while I wait, I keep a “photo idea” note on my phone and write down new shoots to look forward to.
It’s tough to do it all though, I feel ya.

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?

Made a WhatsApp group with all my film friends in it and have been using it coordinate going to screenings. It's so much fun! There's loads of little independent screenings happening where I live and some very good independent cinemas, but even if all you have is a TV you should start a film club too. This evening I'm off to an old pub that's been converted into an events space to watch The Garden by Derek Jarman 😎

Damn this site is enjoyable. I’ve been in a slump with news and boring bullshit on instagram that I’m happy I found this.
Also if anyone wants to recommend unpopular Artists I would love it (just want inspiration for my photography)

so meta will now train AI on your posts. As someone who creates art and not just “content” it looks like I’ll be taking down my posts or just deleting all together
