It feels appropriate to check in on the blog in this, the first day of a fresh new year. As this website was set up, I start a new blog section each year and thought it would be a good idea to try a slightly new visual approach this time. While the writing has always been my primary focus around here, I am a photographer after all, so it makes sense to attempt to create a more visually-appropriate layout. That said, I think the limiting factor is the platform I’m using. The provided tools are quite basic and will never be able to do the things I’d love to create without a significant time and money investment. It’s just not worth it for what it is (a space for me to mostly talk to myself). Acknowledging this fact has been a huge improvement for me personally, as I tend to be a perfectionist to a detrimental degree.
