RE: For the Love of Comments. Win 50 SP Delegation for a Month
You already know what i love doing here on steem i.e. photography of course. I don't like to write much but i am often said i should do so. One of the reasons behind it is, i want people's comments and reactions on my photos and want to observe if they are seeing the same things that i want to show them. I don't want to force my perspective on others but rather want an observer's views on those.
Also, i am always looking for ways to improve and i feel i have done so, much by commenting and asking on other photographer's posts, be it about a gadget, their editing style or their shooting styles and settings.
Often i like to engage in something except photography i.e. something related to philosophy and way of life and love meaningful conversation on those topics, although i find myself being dumb on those. I feel commenting is the true way of appreciating a musician's composition or an artist's creation.
I like when you pose a little question with your photos. It encourages the feedback and comments without you giving your opinion to get in the way.
I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with the commenters who pushed you to write more, because, as I explained in my post, I value your communication. There are some who post long or in-depth content, but reply to very few of the replies they receive. It puts people off even trying when that happens.
Your presence on this blockchain is a lovely thing and it's valued. I think the fact that you have gained in popularity so quickly its testament to that. Keep being yourself and don't change for the sake of others, only for yourself.
I see what you are saying there about wanting a viewer's real reaction to your art... For me, the difference between a few words and no words is great.
Reading and writing feels to me a lot like speaking, so when I see a picture with no words it's as if the artist walked into the room, silently hung up a picture, stepped back and observed it without a word. I might smile and nod, but would probably follow suit and not speak.
I follow an artist here with amazing drawings, but who rarely titles them, gives no description at all and does not reply to comments. It's his prerogative I guess, but I think not interacting reduces the votes he gets.
If you see my posts, you will know that i am also a few words type. I also feel that no words type miss out on their upvotes or reactions. But what i don't do much is write about 200-300 words, which is a norm here in steem.
Congratulations @cave-man, you are the winner for the month's delegation of 50 SP and a small @dustsweeper enrollment.
