Keep taking photos Kaylee, and if 1 shot, out of the thousands you take, gives someone…a complete stranger, pleasure – then in my eyes that’s what it’s all about. Expression is something a lot of people are afraid of. They fear rejection, they fear that someone won’t like what they do? This isn’t healthy and leads to a person never being able to express themselves. Expression doesn’t have to be a perfect form, where everyone loves what you do.
If it gives you enjoyment and you manage to touch someone enough that they in turn feel like commenting on your work – then that is what it is all about.
Look at some of my stuff. I take photos, have started painting and have written a few silly poems. All done when I feel like expressing myself. I was in the Navy for 10 years and am now a Law graduate…I’m not an artist or a professional photographer or a literary genius (my sister ‘neliyeti’ is the writer check her out her stuff is great) but people on Redbubble have made comment and I have managed to give someone a wee bit of pleasue, albeit asthetically or with words – my heart is filled because of this. Keep taking photos, write, draw, sing etc
Nothing is out of your reach…you will make it. Put your work on Redbubble and see where it takes you. You have youth on your side don’t be afraid what is there to lose? It’s all good.
