>>4401463>>4401563photography is less of visual art and more of storytelling. you're combining pieces of reality like writer types words on a page, not a caligrapher. if the story sucks noone will care about perfeclty embelished letters. the story will suck if you don't create something compelling. easiest way to create compelling story is to document your life. easiest way to live your life in a way that makes it interesting to others is to party with rich people or go to exotic place.
it's hard as fuck to create a worthwhile story with one sentence (or one photo in this instance). if you try to cram as much info into one photo it will have the same feel as overintelectualised sentence that goes on and on and on with no point to it. you can tell thrilling stories about regular places and regular people but that shit takes skill and imagination that I don't have and i doubt many of us on /pee/ have.
>This is immediately disheartening and quickly brings egos back down to reality where the purpose of a camera is documenting your life, friends, and family, and you will never be an artist.wait you guys weren't doing just that? picrel went to model train display, satisfied my autism, took camera with me, left with nice pictures to have as a souvenir
