500!

Yay, my 500th Blip! I can't believe it's come round so quickly.

It's really interesting looking back over all the photos I've taken and seeing how many I am proud of. I used to think I wasn't a very good photographer (especially compared to my dad, who is my inspiration for many of these angles and subjects) but you know what? I'm actually not half bad. Go me!

I definitely go through phases, mostly to do with my mental state. When I'm in a bit of a bad headspace it's a lot harder to find the creativity to take a photograph I consider worth posting (or some days to take one at all!) but then on the good days I love the challenge of finding something new, seeing the world in a different light, and coming out of it with a memory captured in a way that I enjoy looking at.

If you've been following me, you may have noticed that my descriptions have dropped off recently. It's a shame, but I struggle with burnout and I am doing what I consciously can to reduce the amount of (self-imposed) demands on my time without sacrificing the activities I love. I'll still write about the things that deserve to be shared though!

Thank you to you all for your stars and comments. I hope my pictures have made your days a little brighter. This is a lovely community and I hope to be a part of it for many more years!
