Dear friend,<\/p>\n

I think we are all trying to find meaning in our photography.<\/p>\n

Meaningful photography?<\/h2>\n

What does it mean to have \u00e2\u20ac\u0153meaning\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in our photography?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It means to photograph what we truly love<\/li>\n
  2. It means to photograph what is personal to us<\/li>\n
  3. It means to photograph according to our own standards, and not worrying about what others think<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you do in your photography?<\/h2>\n

    A suggestion: what if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what is meaningful in your photography?<\/p>\n

    Take a negative approach \u00e2\u20ac\u201d take everything in the prior list, and reverse it:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t photograph what you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to photograph<\/li>\n
    2. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t photograph what isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t personal to you<\/li>\n
    3. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t photograph according to the standards of others<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      What if you lived a life, and photographed it according to your own standards?<\/p>\n
