Dear friend,<\/p>\n

Simple question:<\/p>\n

\n Do you love photography?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Cindy<\/p>\n

I think we all start shooting photos because we love it! We love shooting photos for the sake of it. Shooting photos is like our visual plaything.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We love shooting photos, because we are amazed by the photos we can shoot. We see interesting things in real life, and when we make a good photograph of it, we feel amazed!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In simple words,<\/p>\n

\n Photography is like magic to us!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Korean<\/p>\n

\n

Do you see more options or restrictions in photography?<\/h2>\n

\"Washington<\/p>\n

Our simple goal:<\/p>\n

\n Never lose our passion and love for photography until we die!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But this is the problem I see in photography:<\/p>\n

\n The more addicted we get to social media, the more we care about external validation for our photos, and the less we shoot to please ourselves.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In short, we must be more selfish<\/a> and self-focused in our photography. We must make photos that we love to look at in private! We must make photos that we love\u00e2\u20ac\u201d even if we could not share it with anyone else!<\/p>\n

\"Nature<\/p>\n

\n

\"Modern<\/p>\n

Who do you shoot photos for\u00e2\u20ac\u201d yourself or others?<\/p>\n

Simple idea:<\/p>\n

\n Focus on pleasing yourself in photography.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Only judge your photos according to your own ability for the photos to evoke joy in your own heart.<\/p>\n

If you look at your own photos, and they amaze and bring joy to you \u00e2\u20ac\u201d you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re on the right path!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Never stop shooting,
\nERIC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
