Simplifying My Life in 2026

In doing some deeper thinking on what I should focus on this year, it came to my mind that perhaps less is more. Last year was a throw-evertyhing-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks year. That approach can be fun but is not sustainable. Knowing myself as I do, avoiding the mundane organizational logistics of life in favor of fun new adventures is my standard operating procedure; opening a photo studio but not figuring out how to efficiently operate it; opening a photobook shop but neglecting the backend paperwork; making a million photos but failing to tell people I’m a photographer… these practices are unsustainable and will eventually catch up with you. In hopes of avoiding the repercussions, this year will be spent doing the Not Fun things required of us.
