You're Doing Too Much | Fujifilm X-T5 Short Film 

I love your insights. Thanks for this comment! I’m glad to hear you’re starting to feel like you have more to give after resting. Burnout is really tough to deal with and I think sometimes it forces us to just stop for a while even though everything within is telling us to keep going.

Thanks for your comment! I love Vancouver and was there earlier in the year a couple of times. So glad this video is reaching other busy creators and resonating. We all push ourselves so hard, and heading all these stories is confirmation of that

Thanks a lot! Yeah, everything can feel so up in the air at times

That's awesome! I always love hearing from other folks who travel full-time. For me, I almost feel like I need more than a month sometimes. But no matter how long I have, it's tough to shake the feeling that I'm on a 'trip' and I need to maximize my time and see as much as possible. I've found it difficult to just sit and chill some nights after work like I would if I were home, even if I do have a month or more.

Thanks for following along! Really appreciate it!

It takes so much energy to do everything we have to do just to survive and pay the bills. Then trying to chase all the other creative pursuits and ideas on top of it can become overwhelming fast.

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to hear.

Exactly! So glad to hear you had that realization. Now the challenge is actually taking the time to rest haha.

A friend in LA this year taught me this- We think we haven’t worked enough to deserve rest when really we haven’t rested enough to do our best work. It really resonated and maybe it’ll help you too. I’m not perfect and I push myself too hard sometimes, but we’re all learning!

It’s not easy to find a balance, and I certainly haven’t figured out the answer haha

I couldn’t agree more!

For a photo first hybrid, I’d say it’s pretty solid. I also have most of my video settings turned down as I’m still trying to find the right quality:file-size ratio. Honestly though, I’m more of a photographer and I’d never expect a hybrid body to deliver cinema camera results.

It's not the XT5 entirely. It's either the in-camera settings, export settings, and/or youtube compression. I have the XT5 and it captures ridiculous quality even on the the Regular Non HQ 4K. I also have a Canon R6 to compare so it's definitely not the cameras.

I can see why you’d think that way. New York certainly isn’t for everyone. The reality is, I was hardly ever home because there is so much to see and the best coffee shops and breweries and restaurants walking distance from my front door. Not to mention the rooftop that looks out at the Hudson and the Washington Bridge. This place also had a huge kitchen and washer and dryer in the apartment which is unheard of, and the owners were art collectors which meant the entire place was like a gallery, including my room which held the bookshelves containing most of their art book collection. It’s just a matter of perspective and what’s right for each person. I’ve never understood the urge some people have to tell me how much they’d hate living where I do. I’ve gotten it from my older family members who live in smaller towns and cities for years haha
