RE: Impressions of H O N G K O N G (Part4)
Honestly, you don't even have to write, your photos speak a thousand words! I love the sentiment behind the Wishing Bells, just beautiful. Much love, @sweetpea
Thank you so much @sweetpea. I initially wanted to share my photos without sharing much info as I don't automatically have words to associate with what I capture, but it doesn't really "work" that way here on Steemit. The only form of expression which gets any substantial attention is writing... makes me a bit sad for all these people out there who don't express themselves and share their personal vision of the world necessarily through words. They can easily get discouraged... and steemit loses a lot of amazing talents. We all express ourselves in different ways, whether it be painting, drawing, writing, photography, singing... and that's the beauty of our societies.
Not feeling very positive lately so your comment is a lovely boost, and I thank you for that.
Ah I hope you cheer up soon, lots to be positive about in our somewhat ruthless world! I get what you are saying, we scour Steemit looking for bulky content, the images are often there simply for the pretty colours. But, I have also seen many artists on this platform who get recognition simply for displaying their art, so it is possible (maybe a bit harder for photography). I am really enjoying my "visit" to Hong Kong through your lens, do you have another city in store for us any time soon?
That's true. It just takes so much more perseverance. And yes, even more so in photography.
I do plan on continuing my #facesandplaces posts, with Faces of people from around the world. And maybe more travel posts from Borneo, Thailand, America, Peru, France...
