- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I'm want to get more comfortable shooting people. With a camera. I want to do more street and candid work this year and I have to get better about putting myself out there. I have a couple project ideas I'd like to do locally, but it will involve asking people if I can take their picture and that always skeezes me out.
I want to start doing more video. I have the capabilities, so why not use them. I'd like to do short videos mainly putting together stills with simple footage.
I want to try and sell some prints this year. I'm finally comfortable with the idea that some people might actually pay me some money for my stuff after selling quite a few for the holidays, that I'd like to expand on that. Again, I have all this gear, if I can recoup some costs, why not?
At the end of the day though, my photos are for me. It's all I am leaving to the world. I just want to share my images and if anyone gleans anything from it, or feels anything from any of them, then I am happy with that, too.
Like you, OP, I am not without my aches and pains. . . 2 hip replacements, only one good lung, cancer survivor, living with chronic sarcoidosis. . . . I am TRYING to not let it slow me down, and the harder I push, somedays the body pushes back harder. I've really been using photogrpahy for an excuse/reason to get out every day and get moving, and NOT end up at the pub for hours on end. I'm not sure if it's helping or hurting but it does my head good and the money I've save out of the pub adds to gear funds, lol.
Cheers to a great 2022, all!
