I think it's time for me to start a new chapter in my photography. Have been using Luminar for most processing for the last few years, but Skylum don't fix the bugs and they have become unbearable. Moving to a different tool means learning a whole new palette of effects and rebuilding by workflow, which takes time to learn. Is very frustrating, but I can't abide their business ethics and abandoning customers to their fate when the product is unacceptable quality.
I am really struggling with focus after the stress of war. Am finding it hard to engage with any product-type activity (prints, NFTs, books) right now. Feels a bit feeble, but I am burned out, and the wait for the main public action is taking a toll on me. There are also only so many essays you can write describing the slog...
You never fail to describe exactly how I (and sure many, many others) are feeling. For me it is almost a struggle to even open my browser and not just plug into the matrix for a short break. That even fails most days. It is like we "just seem to know" the nonsense being displayed it complete garbage and taxing on the head.
I believe what helps to an extent is thinking about the folks that have been in the trenches for decades. Yet sometimes that brings on a sort of guilt for not wanting to bother with it some days. Catch 22 and waiting for the "23"
Good thing we are all in this together as it would suck to be alone.
