My month so far...
Had a four day weekend, both Canada Day and Independence Day (working for an American company in Canada), meaning I have to work my five day week, Tuesday to Saturday, Saturday shift is not optional apparently...
Problem, there is an epic car cruise weekend two hours from home this upcoming weekend, when I have a mere one day weekend, followed by Monday to Friday (back to the usual)
At this point I plan to drive the two hours to the car event immediately after work on Saturday, and come back on Sunday, ready for Monday morning... Yes, regarding my photography
Also... In two days the epic first run of Calgary Stampede (since Covid) starts, I have made a choice effectively to be at the car thing (choices we make)
Next week, after a one day weekend, I'm still debating how much Calgary Stampede to take in without driving myself crazy, it should be a big event this year... I'm thinking along the lines of some evening visits, I do live only a short distance from their, 15 minute walk...
In the back of my mind I'm cursing - at least a little - about this new contract position which is getting in the way
I do finally have the usual two day weekend back (16th/17th), the last two days of Stampede... After making the choice of the car weekend, I have a fear of missing out on too much Stampede, related to my documentary photography, which irks me, because I also want to be careful to pace myself with enough down time and not become a train wreck... Yet I know I will be hard on myself for not getting enough photos next week on what feels like an important year... Or maybe I'm overthinking that... Or maybe it's not as important as I'm thinking
Meantime my good friend, who is retired, has all the time in the world next week to photograph, when I have hardly any What drives me? When most other co-workers will probably crash on the couch for a weekend, talking with a friend on the weekend the answer is passion, passion about life, passion about photography, but at what point should I reign myself in, or should I?
