So sorry about your house fire. I hope no one was injured. The life lesson about realizing the importance of certain things can be rough but at the same time be rewarding. Sometimes purging non-essential or useless things then rebuilding something more ideal is a good practice. Thanks for the book recommendations as learning what other photographers do and seeing their work is very helpful especially to us hobbyists. Another tip is create your own workbook or notebook when you're on a shoot. Prior to retirement I learned when doing field work was to carry a notebook you can record the lessons during the trip and any details that would be useful in the future. This works in photography as well so you can better document what works and what may not.
