The more you share, the better:
For us online photographers, sharing our photos is our lifeblood. But the question:
Why share your photos?
Some thoughts:
Spark joy in yourself, spark joy in others.
For me it seems to be simple ethics:
I want to share with others what brings joy to myself.
For example, Seneca said something like:
If you could give me all the world’s knowledge and wisdom but I couldn’t share it with anyone else, I would refuse it.
Perhaps in a similar vein:
If you could give me the power to photograph, but I couldn’t share the photos with anyone else, I would refuse the gift.
Thus I feel a strong step towards more sincerity in our photography:
Know that sharing photos does indeed bring us joy, and can share joy with others.
So when it comes to sharing photos, think to yourself:
Why *NOT* share my photos?
