just realized it's been a year since i started taking virtual photography more seriously, both by trying to learn about photography so i'm not winging it 100% of the time and by learning how to edit my pics. Lightroom counts 664 pictures in my catalog which puts my pace at about two pictures every day.

i'm pretty satisfied with my improvement although i still struggle fairly often with framing characters in a satisfying way. i've thought about joining stuff like discord servers dedicated to this hobby but honestly those communities either feel very intimidating to me (those managed by the ppl who created the tools i'm using especially), or they have vibes rancid enough they can be felt without even interacting with them. oh well
