Taking a Little Break
It's been a 100 days since I joined Steemit, and I've been posting mostly my self portrait photography work for anywhere between four to seven days a week. That is four to seven days of coming up with a concept, getting myself ready, shooting, post processing and occasionally writing something to accompany the pictures. There has not been a day where I didn't log on to Steemit even when I wasn't posting myself that day. Quite frankly, I became obsessed right after the first post I made.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing to be obsesses about Steemit, au contraire, but I don't want this to turn into a job or chore for me, to be something I have to do, instead of wanting to do for fun. I already turned one passion into a job I now despise.
I've never before been this inspired and motivated to create, and improve on, my photography than I am now, BUT it has been taking its toll on me. Between Steemit and the necessary evil that is The Day Job, there is not much time for anything else. I've been neglecting my other interests, and people, too.
I'm taking just a couple days off from shooting myself and looking at my own face from the screen for hours while choosing and processing the pictures. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere for long and I have a couple fun projects I'm working on. Now I'll indulge in some Penny Dreadful, tea and knitting.
I think the mud mask compliments my eye color really well, maybe I should rock this look more often.
Have fun on your break !
It's easy to become addicted by Steem and @eveuncovered
So take as many time as you want to regroup Eve
Its tough balancing steemit. At times I feel like its an addiction, or some sort of distraction from what I really need to work on. At others it can feel like a chore. Trying to find a balance though has been as rewarding at it has been challenging.
Yes definitely, I'm trying to find balance on how much time I should invest in this.
Will miss your posts😪But have fun on your sabbatical! 😜
Don't worry darling, I'm already working on something new, I'll be back with a bang 😉

Sometimes the stars align in just the right way whereby our motivations and desires simply take over - and rule the day... Inspiration is the mother of invention - and you my dear Eve, are an inspiration not only to yourself but to all those who aspire to acquire your lust for life and engagement therewith…
Inpiration surely has taken over me! But what comes to being inspiration to others, I wouldn't know.
Dorian Gray: Photographs are so ironically impermanent. They capture one moment in time to perfection. A painting can capture eternity.
That is why I take so many photographs, trying to catch the eternity of myself.
thx for sharing
nice look ;)

The new theme is the human body, thought it would be appropriate for you!
I'm not really into those contests, too many rules and all 😉
but there was only one rule, mark nsfw if nude.
Penny Dreadful Season 1 & 2 were great, Season 3 was disappointing.
