Waking up service

I'm really struggling lately with cabin fever due to long winter and cold weather and I feel like I'm losing interest in my photography. Maybe I should take a break or maybe I should keep pushing forward.

I feel like my work isn't good enough, I don't know if I'm even taking pictures for myself or am I just doing it for attention or validation from others? I compare my work to others a lot which I know isn't a healthy thing to do.

I watch and read lots of content about photography on what you should and shouldn't do and every time I do I feel discouraged, not inspired because these articles or videos just tend to make me feel like I failed and that I should give up because I'm not good as them.

I realize that not all my photos are going to be good, I take a lot of bad photos and sometimes I manage to take some good photos time to time but social media constantly makes me feel pressured to share and it puts pressure on me to try and take the best possible photos I can and when I do try and they don't get the love I expected them to, I get quite sad.

The photos I take are all over the place, I don't have a consistent style or "look" to my photos. I don't have a color palate I stick to, I don't have a theme in my photos, my photos don't really tell much a story besides just me sharing random crap that's around me.

Where do I go from here?

checking his territory.

Julius is named after a popular juice bar and is the most outgoing cat I've met. He welcomes visitors to our vet's practice and walked over and sat on the dog scale so we could see he weighs 21 lbs. A BIG boy! (Rena is 8 lbs.). Julius let my son pet him and then he sat and watched us while we waited for Rena to get her claws trimmed. I thought you'd like him.

Find me on Facebook too, and on instagram: no.cute.cat

Attached with spider webs. This is the urgent expression he assumes when he sees me with a carton of goat milk.

Brothers in arms Charlie and Freddie aged 7 weeks old on July 12th 2009.

This photograph was taken inside their carrier shortly after arrival in their new home when their and my life changed forever.

Freddie on the left passed away at home aged 10 after a short illness on August 20th 2019.

Charlie Boy was put to sleep by a veterinary surgeon after a severe and unrecoverable neurological event after several months of gradual decline aged 15 and a half years old on December 19th 2024.

Charlie's passing brought to an end the Charlie and Freddie era, their own life odyssey, their personal companionship and their flickr adventure.

Storing furniture for a family member gives someone an opportunity to try it out, and, of course, leave a nice layer of fine silky orange fur behind. He didn't seem to care for it after trying six or seven different locations.

Britney wishing you a Happy Furry Friday and a great weekend!

There is nothing like warming yourself under your favorite blankie while sitting on grandma's lap.

Soaking in the warmth of the Sun 🌞

My boy had a run-in with something a couple days ago. Whatever it was, and no he refuses to even give me a hint, it laid him up and got me quite worried. So after nursing him back to health, I was quite relieved he went for our morning walk today. Good thing we run an online business.

Toffee spent International Cat Day in the vets.

He's back home with lots of medicine and seems to be doing much better.
