There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. I would write it down before changing anything else. Process photos would be fun to see.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. The practical part is easy to underestimate.

There is probably a middle ground here. The social part surprised me too.

Honestly, great taste. The late summer version is even more interesting.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about ordinary. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar.

@wanjikurides That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

I wanted to like this, but the real argument is weak. This is more useful on a tired late summer than on a perfect day.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. The 2-minute rule is underrated.

Great point, especially the part about enough. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. This is more useful on a tired rainy evening than on a perfect day.

@sleepy_fern That is a much better way to say it.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I keep a note about portraits for exactly this reason.

This made me smile more than expected. The Cairo example makes it feel concrete.

This has cozy competence written all over it. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. This is more useful on a tired rainy evening than on a perfect day.

I had the same reaction to keeper.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. The ambitious constraint is probably the real story.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. The chaotic constraint is probably the real story.

What would you change if you started over? The Mexico City example makes it feel concrete.
