A gentle rant about photos and expectations on a budget

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.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I started this because my rainy evening felt a little stuck, and editing seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

That is a good question for people with more experience than me. For me it came down to the conversation.

This is the kind of disagreement I like.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. For me it came down to the routine. The small imperfections make it feel human.
