You took on a huge project! I would have failed much earlier to commit to this daily. I hope you don’t feel too bad about this and see it more as an experience you have learned from. I have started projects which still wait for me to return. I think it’s part of the creative process. Letting it go opens up room for new ideas and projects and maybe you can incorporate some of the photos of this project in the next one. .
I totally understand your hesitance with your Substack. There are so many great photographers here who put out not just excellent photographs but also great writing - it is intimidating and makes one doubt about one’s own talents or means writing a newsletter. I don’t See it as a competition, but as a big nurturing community and everybody brings something to the table.
I hope you will stay active here. Your photos are great. I would love to here more about your experience in the darkroom.
I empathise. It's very easy to get overwhelmed and burnt out, especially when the lessons of a project have been learnt. Hope you can find a new framing - these are great!
Some superb images, Sir. Sorry to hear you're having a bit of a rough time of it regarding your creative impetus and your 'Stack. It would be a sad day for us all who enjoy seeing and reading your work if you threw in the towel. Her on Substack there is, indeed, a great community of talented photographers, yourself included. I add my good wishes to those of the other folks here and hope that you find your mojo again soon. All the very best to you, Sir.
In Projects like you have described, the only fix is to get back in the saddle and ride again. Start tomorrow with renewed vigor and make the project your own.
I'm sure I will - just need to make start on them.
