I have tried to make money off of my artwork, I sold quite a few pieces, but I wasn’t proud of who I sold my artwork to. Only my family and friends were buying pieces. That made me feel like they were buying just out of guilt, but then I had realized they are the only people I would want to buy my artwork. I say this because they are the people that care about me the most, and who I care about the most.
My first camera was a little silver digital camera, I was around 3 when I got and my family went to Washington DC for a triathlon my dad was competing in. I took pictures of just about everything I could see, and I obviously was loving it. I just recently got my first professional camera, it is a Canon. My dad got it for me for my birthday, it is so much fun to look professional while taking pictures. It took me a while getting used to using such an advanced camera, because before then I was just using my phone. I took some pretty good pictures using my phone but it just feels so much better using the camera that I have now.
Photography is so fun and sometimes very simple so if you're looking for a new hobby this definitely a great possibility. You can have so much fun, and adventure to new places at the same time you're taking amazingly cool pictures. I hope this blog gave you some inspiration to be creative!
