Square

I've been slowly discovering something this last few months. I just love to create and share images.

Success would obviously be lovely, but only on my own terms. Every image I share made me happy in some way, esoteric or not, and that's what I love. Artistic direction is to the conscientious image creator as peer pressure is to a lonely teenager. You may well adopt a direction, but unless it comes to you instinctively, it's not yours. I admire many amazing photographers (and even emulate what I perceive as their style), but trying to walk in their footprints immediately invalidates anything that I could aspire to. I embrace my love of creating images on any platform, and hopefully at least one other person will empathise with that love and enjoy the things I create. If they don't, that doesn't decrease my love of it; just decreases the audience. That's what I love about making images, or art in general, I suppose. The size of the audience is quite irrelevant - it's only the passion that truly matters (unless you've not eaten for days).

Excuse the introspection; I've been trying to find where I fit in the universe with a camera, and I think I may have found it.
