https://www.youtube.com/@thephotobookmuseum/videosConsider making books. Photography is much more worthwhile if you are working on a project and making a book or a zine or whatever space you create for your pictures makes it come alive. Thinking about sequencing and layout forces you to get to know your pictures outside a technical point of view. You'll also stumble upon the book in years to come, don't let your pictures die with your hard drive.
