I'm trying to photograph an old offshore oil city that is lying in decay in the Caspian Sea, but I've been having a hard time getting there.

This is a hard time for the city, a hard time for the council and a hard time for the mayor. I'd much rather be mayor when I was than right now.

I have a hard time getting past the day without the nap, so the nap is a must.

I have a hard time with free time.

I have a hard time recalling the titles of books.

Even losing my mother, I wanted my mother. That's who you want instinctually when you're having a hard time.
