Buy photo books from photographers that inspire you. Keep them on your shelf most of the time. Pull one out with a cup of coffee and some music when you have some free time. Works for me (though I'm not much of a photographer).

Well, it is winter with snow, darkness and cold here so yeah, my will is gone at the moment, but I can understand a general feeling of losing interest as everything is overly saturated these days which means you will have to work even harder to get any sort of feedback or reaction, but this again can elevate your photos. Also youtubers suck anyways.

Don't listen to him and continue honing your craft of analog film photography and printing. The pendulum always swings back. Just watch.

>90 hours a week

You need to look at maybe getting a different job mate. Working extremely long hours is not good for your mental health. I know, I've done it. I know that switching is undesirable and stressful. But it would give you a new freedom in life if you did at least shorten your hours.
I switched from working long and lonely hours, to working with a few other people, on shorter hours, for the same money, and it was a far better experience.

I'm trying but it's just one thing after another. I'm getting a new clutch apparently and that's 5k. I'm breaking even at best and I need to get some money saved up so I can get out of this thing and have a life again. Every time I get a little bit of money something breaks and I'm broke again.

The good news is, at this rate I'll have a new truck by the end of the year. The clutch was one of the last wear items left. All I have left now is the injector six pack and the gearbox itself and the engine internals.

If I did the inframe, six pack, new cylinder head, new oil cooler, EGR cooler and 13 speed upgrade, I would basically have a new truck good for another 1m miles. It will cost me drastically more than that to buy a new truck.

The good news is, now I'm going to have to come home at some point and move my Jaguar now that I got it repaired so that will give me a shot to do some shooting.

Fascinating! Can I read more about it on your blog? I'm so interested in your car rebuild.
