Porthole is one of my fave photos. Layers of imagery. A hidden self-portrait. A rave smiley face. A little Nightmare Before Christmas stitchery. All in a nautical frame. What more could I want in the world of meta?

The crisp whiteness of the door does most of the visual heavy lifting. Honing the eye and making you focus on the standout elements. Its simplicity makes the strengths outstanding. Learn this lesson.

I get a lot of good imagery at work or on the way to work. But it is always a battle to find the energy to lift the camera and take the shot. Finding that energy is getting harder with every year I get older.

It’s not that I don’t have the ideas. Just the ideas are overwhelmed by exhaustion. Both physical and mental. Every single day is an opportunity for laziness and the culture is exhausting me with constant things to waste my life on.

When I am not exhausted I can’t seem to overcome the suffocating barriers I myself have created. Walls of To Do lists that seem productive until I realize they are just procrastination. Ways of avoiding what I should be doing.

I need help. I need an assistant. This is call to anyone who can help.
