This can include a little more time staging the shot, putting more effort into editing including multiple layers and effects, then playing with filters and settings before posting. Then there’s the perfect caption. Always gotta put some time into that.

If I’m lucky, they turn out nice. If I’m even luckier, they catch on in Instagram and get me some good reach, likes, and comments.

Usually that latter part doesn’t happen because IG is weird and that’s about the only reliable thing in that app.

And yet I keep going. I love my hobby.
