I finally understand why Photography people care about portraits with a gentle constraint
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where photos stopped feeling new.
I started this because my weekend felt a little stuck, and photos seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
