I starting to get some angst about the newspeak usage of "anx."
Actually, another angst about LF is forgetting my darkcloth at home. That stinks! Also, forgetting sun block lotion. And packing more water! It gets hot out in the desert.
1) Limited local places to shoot
2) General costs & logistics (transportation, space, learning)
3) Time away from other priorities (family, job, pets, etc.)
4) My age/health/motivation/fulfillment
5) Gear (camera/lenses/tripod/enlarger/scanner)
6) Film & development
7) Printing & display/exhibitions
8) Scanning/digital processing
9) My post count (too low/too high) ;^)
10) Other: (Please share!)

I'm starting to get some 'anx' when I see word police make their own blunders :>). Brian, no offense, just add *iety*...you're welcome to borrow it from the subject line above. Oh, and I'll do the same with *'m*.

Right now, it's not having my own vehicle.

That...just having turned 66...as my visual/artistic/creative capacities continue to evolve, my own physical capacities (those required to keep up with the aforementioned creative evolution) are now diminishing noticably, regardless of whatever I might attempt to counter the inevitable.
Eyesight failure, glaucoma
and just now I started considering another cross country permanent relocation
as I can still drive for a while
sell everything except a few LF cameras and wander into the sunset

My biggest anxiety is running out of film before I am ready to stop shooting.
On the subject of location, I was thinking about Brett Weston, a man that I never met, but with whom I have shared friends and aquaintances. There is a quote on the Art Wright documentary additional interviews where his trip to London is described and his host's concern that the only thing he found to shoot was rust on a bridge.
Potential art is like potential energy, it is everywhere. When you apply force or a catalyst it reacts.
My biggest anxiety and probably only one, is finding places to practice photography outside my private property and home.

My ‘anxieties’ are dust and development errors of myself (in B&W) and declining quality of C41 and E6 development of labs. In the Netherlands they seem very careless, as if they are stockholders of digital camera companies.
There are less and less places where one can setup and work without being asked to leave or be treated like a criminal.
I remember a few years ago when I was re-newing my diver's license. There was a big poster with a person using what looked like a film SLR with the caption "Report Suspicious Activity." I wish I would have taken a picture of the poster, but "No Photography Allowed."
Here is another one. Particularly troublesome due to my knees, I take a lot of images my car.
