I tried doing photos the boring way and it worked from the corner shop
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where editing stopped feeling new.
I started this because my lunch break felt a little stuck, and street 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.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. Process photos would be fun to see.

Great point, especially the part about shop. This is more useful on a tired first week than on a perfect day.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. The texture and mood are lovely.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.
