    Wonder how this year will continue for me. Very mixed feelings today. Happy and depressed at the same time. Don’t know how to make money, don’t know how to produce anything. Self-employed since forever. Not easy at the moment.

    • What exactly changed, apart from the quarantine? Did you have commercial shootings that got cancelled?NBQ00
    • Most of the time I work on my own projects and sell photos later. Cannot work right now. Plus client projects cancelled, e.g. calendar productions.SimonFFM
