I don’t see a point in going through with this project cuz dirty soles and by extension barefoot in public is a very niche fetish and won’t work in 2022 with such an over saturated market (OF ruined the market with low effort shit). Plus as my mental health gets shittier I just lost motivation to do things

hey!

hope your mood and mental health will recover and get better!
well, the question still is, why not do it just for fun, i mean, your own fun!

there is no obligation that you will need post these, but perhaps after a little while when you gathered some shooting, you still can decide if you want to post some or keep them privately.

photography itself is a great hobby, there is not the need to monetize and create a "career" with everything you do. just do things that you enjoy, and give you fun and sprinkles in your life, everything else will fall into the place.

take care on yourself, and i hope you feel better soon.

best wishes

Maybe it could be a fun hobby and could share them freely. I like to record the concerts I attend as a hobby too

yeah, just start with it without having any pressure of commercial success at all, just what feels right to you and do what you enjoy, and go from there
