Joachim can’t stand me anymore … I’m a pain in the ass for him. But He’s kind of gatefull for helping him with the maths, the physics … Even if he’s driving me crazy I will push him as long as I can. Too bad for him ! 😉
I envy your writing skills. I’m just good at talking about gears. You’re right I should buy another useless camera at a high price, write some blogs about it and then sell it again at a discount price !
Seriously, I think that the GR3 is my camera to go now. I’m doomed to use Ricoh’s gear for the rest of my life.

I feel like that with age, I spend more time recharging … Speaking of 35 mm, I love shooting this focal. Less intrusive and wide enough to capture a scenery. I just went to see Noguchi’s work and was blown away ! Stunning eye. His serie about his father is amazing

Your point about excuses resonates with me, probably most photographers. I’m always grumbling about not having time to shoot and when I have can’t get up the enthusiasm to actually go. We’ve been writing these blogs for around seven years so not surprising that we run out of things to say. I look forward to yours, there’s always something, an observation by you, that strikes a chord. And of course we get to see your superb work.

You’re not missing much on Social Media. I post occasionally, spend no time looking at it via the feeds on FB or IG because they’re irrelevant. Suggested posts or advertisements. I preferred it when it was chronological, that doesn’t suit their business model though. I’m on one FB Street Group, that’s the only place I spend any time with Social Media. No ads, no suggested posts. I just click latest and scroll through newest posts on that group.

You’re right not to be worried, everyone goes through these stages. The Doc diagnoses ennui. Maybe not the correct word, but close enough. Perhaps you should buy another camera!
