Photography Is More Than Production

Don’t look at your process as a conveyor belt. We aren’t on the factory line churning out work. I value having fun and the experience of photography more than the photos. Give me a five minute chat with a stranger over a good photo. Or better yet the chat and photo. Humans are social beings. We desire interactions, no matter how much social media has tried to ruin it for us. Whatever the medium you enjoy, keep doing that. Even if it’s a timely process. Ultimately, nobody will care about your photos. You might get very lucky and make a few some people care about outside your circle. But that’s even such a low chance. So why the pressure to create? Why bother slaving away on the factory line all day when nobody cares anyways. Just have fun with it.
