Micael Widell's Newsletter #53
Captain's log
I need my youtube work to be happy and content with my life. It is like an outlet for my need to be creative and productive, and I can feel frustrated and almost depressed if I don't have enough time for work. So after a long summer break with my family I was so ready to get back to work in August.
But when the kids got back to school they immediately caught colds, and they have been home from school in turns, making it hard for me to work more than a couple of hours per day. Very frustrating, but a recurring part of life for a dad of small kids :)
Hopefully September will be bring a better balance between work and family duties! I managed to publish three long form videos in August though:
My Published Videos since the last newsletter
- The Best $200 Macro Lens You Can Buy in 2023 – Pergear 60mm mk2
- Why Photography Youtubers talk SO MUCH about GEAR
- Best Flash and Flash Settings for Macro Photography
