RE: Photo Essay | About the purpose and beauty of a photograph
Hey @glenalbrethsen!
Indeed, not all pictures can be classified the same :-) So you did some sports photography! I think that's one I'm not really good at, I just don't have that kind of equipment. I'm a 'professional' photographer in the sense I can make some money with it and have had exhibitions, but despite that I love simple tools and not bulky machines around my neck. I also don't mind blurry pics if you can edit them in a way they still tell the story. I have a whole series on Steem that's called 'Taking pictures through dirty train windows' - my way of winking to all the snobby photographers that want ultra-sharp pics with expensive gear - I don't really care and will probably publish a photobook with these 'imperfect' shots in the future :-)
I think I miss that aspect of photography the most—being able to present the story in a way no one else could, or to do it in the best possible way.
Yes! It's the best thing in the world. Would love to see some of your shots if you care to share or did so in the past :-)
I haven't posted any of the sports photos. I'd have to go searching for them, too. I think they're on an external hide drive that has been acting up and not letting me in. I need to see what I can do about that.
However, if I do end up finding and posting them, I'll let you know. I'm not guaranteeing anything great or spectacular, though. :) Just me being able to be in the right place at the right time.
:D Maybe it's fun for you to see them again - maybe not. Don't feel pressured, but I'm always curious to see what others love doing :-)
