I'm getting back into shooting with other people. All outdoors right now. There is hardly any work in Atlanta but I'm going to Chattanooga for a day to shoot. It's exciting and a comfort, although a part of me wants to stay in bed and have no schedule. So contradictory that schedules and work are so great for mental health, and yet a part of us wants to reject them. I think it's a bit the fear of being a disappointment, showing up late, making a mistake, like social anxiety, and another part, what if I don't feel like moving or working that day and time? This is great though. I'm so happy to have a bit of normal. I mostly model outdoors anyway so social distancing shouldn't be hard or atypical.
I can't tell if a second wave will happen, what will close down again, and who will still choose to stay safe and not shoot. I'm not planning any big tours for this year. If the world opens up I might start hustling so I can make enough to keep my business for next year. Hustling and modeling during the colder months is a chore. I told myself I wouldn't do it again, but it's rough times, and I know that I can at least. I think we all need and want to complain about the things we planned on, but the point is to keep moving and figuring it out, even if we complain while doing it.
