Aaah, not too complain too much, but I’m exhausted. I usually publish these articles on the first day of the month; the fact that it’s published only on the second already tells you a bit about the previous month.
It’s been a hell of a month, just constant photographing for clients and editing their shots. Handling emails and trying to do my marketing. I was also so dumb to decide to post to Instagram daily, which wasn’t helping me lower my workload.
But anyway…
I’m finishing up the last edits of November to enjoy a much quieter December.
One of the fun things I have to look forward to is a trip to London this month. If you have any recommendations for street photo spots, delicious, affordable food, and coffee places, let me know in the comments!
For work, I had so much to do, let’s do a quick summary: an Event in the Antwerp Hilton for a significant supply chain multinational, an event for a language simplifying organisation, and several portrait shoots for various types of clients. Several more events (it seems like it’s award season). A significant event for Salesforce.
I also did the BTS for a notary organization on a podcast recording day, which was interesting, and photographed at a Sinterklaas party for a client.
The most stressful was picking up my niece at the daycare for the first time. (I’m kidding, it was actually surprisingly easy and fun).
Good thing I also had some fun activities: Like meeting with the Antwerp street photography community again, playing darts at a bar with friends, joining a housewarming (later also house and catsitting there), and visiting Efteling with family.
Now I’m going to sleep.
