This photo marks 1000 days of daily-ish photos, starting from 2024/01/01.
Since the start, I've managed to shoot something on the day (ie. not using a backup photo) an average of 75% of the time.
2024 had the best consistency / hit rate, and this year has been a bit better than last year was, although I've got pretty lackadaisical about keeping on top of posting lately.

When my Instagram view and like count fell off a cliff for some reason (Algorithm change? My own declining quality? The tsunami of AI slop drowning real content? Demotion of non-video content?), it took some of the dopamine hit effect out of it, and I found I was less bothered about keeping up with posting.

I'm going to take a bit of pressure off myself now, and take a break from attempting to hit every day.

I'll still try to share some stuff, but it'll be more sporadic.

Thanks for following along!

I went to a concert with a friend tonight (no photos allowed there...) but I grabbed this one as we went to get something to eat.

I am glad of the good memories on days like these.

This poem (transcribed here by my mum), as well as those in the same collection, spoke deeply to me in the weeks after we lost Lucy; Michael Faber's words did much to help me feel less alone in that time, and helped me to start to process things.
I'm grateful to him for sharing his and Eva's story in this book.

A backup photo today.

This one's a focus stack of 15 shots taken with the camera's internal focus bracketing.
