If the current season is teaching me anything, it's that I need to be more present in my environment.
Noticing this year that producing (music) has felt somewhat stagnant, while photography for me seems to have taken off. The time I've been spending in my DAW recently is insignificant compared to the time spent shooting, consuming photography videos/podcasts, analyzing photos, playing around in Lightroom, etc.
Still consuming a ton of music on the daily though.
Compared to music production, I think photography is a lot more reactive in nature, which is probably why I currently have an easier time enjoying that process. When it comes to making tracks, I feel like I'm too focused on results instead of just playing around and learning.
Ironically, the majority of the tracks I end up finishing have been mostly unintentional.
Perhaps I've forgotten the feeling of fascination when working in a DAW & perhaps I'm also afraid of failing in that medium.
Anyways, really to need start shifting my mentality & up my appreciation for the process.
Anything to put more time into the craft.
Here goes.
Do it to do it.
