How not to give up on Photography or your dreams
I just wanted to post how to keep your sanity in this crazy year , hopefully it is coming to an end soon. Things that helped my and kind your photography part of your brain active and at least learning.
I am guilty of not posting and upkeep of my website due to the lockdown we are in right now. I have been lucky working my photo editing job for an online newspaper but I am not out creating photographic images or working at events due to being canceled due to Covid. Thus the reason you have not seen updates or posting of San Diego Comic Con or other conventions. Heck I lost going to spend a month in New York for Fashion week shooting for clients. Was I upset? Yes I got misty for a day or so but I know it was due to anything I did and hopefully next year it will be busier for all of us . So instead of burying my head just in work and staying home I need to keep busy . One thing I have done or discovered is the giant world of Youtube.
I have gone to photographers channels and will share a few that are not trying to Sell you something but help you be better at photography or give you inspiration to try some projects you never thought of
first check out photographer Peter McKinnon channel
this guy has helpful tips and tricks and things that make photography FUN AGAIN , You will find it entertaining and heck you might learn something
