Forward

I'm still debating how best to contribute to the Steemit community. My Introduction Post gave some insight into some of the things you can expect from my blog, but I admit; I'm still finding my way around. I probably won't get involved in the "music scene" on Steemit until I've become more familiar and actually made some friends. That said, I still want to be active in the meantime. However, I'm not that talented a blogger (also mentioned) which runs over into the fact that I'm ALSO not the most clever commentator. So what can I give for the meantime?

While I don't consider myself a photographer, I've been appreciated for some cool photographs and for my point of view or "eye." I often attribute that to my talent at drawing since all visual arts require similar honing of the visual perception. Aside from my Smartphone though, I don't have a camera. I'd like to own one someday. My education on the craft is limited to 1 photography class in high school. Strangely enough, I still take lots of random pictures with my phone that I personally find have aesthetic I value. A lot of them are backgrounds, textures, and urban themed. I typically use them as backgrounds for quotes or headers on my social media pages. Sometimes I print them and sell them or give them as gifts. Sometimes I use them in album art or other graphics. So I thought, why not share?

Identification

For the latest photos, watch hashtag #omipix

I've decided to use th tag in posts that contain the free photos. Not every photo in every post on my blog is a free stock photo so I felt this will add clarity. Since the tag expires (I think) after 7 days, the tag will always be the latest contributions. In addition, the title of posts containing free photos should specify Free or CC BY 4.0
