not quite up-to-date

Over the last few weeks, I've discovered some photo blogs that have some very nice photo projects going on. They take and post a new photo once a week. I'm interested in these projects but I'm hesitant because I don't know how I can do my photos justice. On the one hand the analogue photos, on the other hand the new photos that I would like to post promptly.

I have never officially and consciously imposed this on myself but I have started to work through my analogue photo backlog which has already been digitized (there are also many analogue photos that have not yet been digitized; and there are also digital photos...). Many of the photos I post on the blog are therefore not quite up-to-date. Some are up to several years old. For example, when I will finally share my impressions of Japan (which I plan to do), it might already be autumn and the memories would be a year old. I'm really not suitable as a travel blog 🙈.

It bothers me that I'm mainly posting photos that are already a few months or years old and current photos are left out. I wonder if that's one of the reasons why I'm taking so few photos at the moment because I know that the new ones would just get in line.

I have this dilemma: Do I want to stay closer to the present? And therefore put more contemporary photos on the blog. At the same time, I want to show my analogue photos, even if they've been lying around for a while. Both need time. Perhaps the digital photos a little more because first, I have to familiarize myself with photo editing. The lack of a workflow puts me off. Posting both the backlog and current photos might be quite a lot. ... right? Oh, it's about the time, the time again.

What's in the analogue photo backlog? These photos are still waiting to make their grand entrance: Denmark and a short trip to Malmo, Japan, Madeira and Lisbon. I also have a few photos from everyday life, but the ones I'm particularly looking forward to show on the blog are the photos from my travels. One reason could be that I take more photos when I travel (because I have more time?) and these photos are more likely to be assigned with the attribute "worth showing"/"special". I want to change that, but that is another story.

There is no solution yet that I am happy with and that gives me the feeling that I do justice to both worlds - the photos that are still in my (virtual) drawers and the potential new photos. Am I making things unnecessarily complicated for myself? Hmm, possibly.
