>>2573932No matter where you are, a photographer (at any level) can/should be able to find a subject
to take pictures of anywhere.
Close your eyes, count to 10, open your eyes and find a subject before you can count another 10.
Sometimes, usually, the most ordinary things can be, should be, a subject for photography.
Subjects can be found anywhere, anytime, anyplace.
It is the photographers eye that can find and capture them.
Some of the most honored/revered photographs ever taken were/are of everyday objects, places and people.
In my opinion all the crap about "the right camera", "the best lens", "the "perfect" gear" is all a lot of smoke and crap. A memorable, poignant, meaningful photograph can be be take by any type of gear, a good/great photographer is not defined by the type of stuff used, but by the photographs taken, the images made, the memories captured, moments in time frozen.
Time and experience and knowledge are more important than stuff, a bad photographer with the most expensive shit, is still a bad photographer.
Get up, pick up a camera and take pictures. When I got my first camera I took a roll a day, to learn what worked and what did not, I read books, looked at what others did, with digital I made it a point to take at least 36 pictures a day, no matter what, to keep my "eye".
Unless you plan to make a living, commercial photography, just have fun and do what you like.
Every moment you spend behind a keyboard is another moment lost for photography.
But what do I really know.
Photography has been a hobby for me since I made a cardboard 126 film cartridge pinhole camera, during a long summer in 1971.
But what would I really know about having fun taking pictures.
The best photographer is the one taking pictures, not talking about pictures.
Which reminds me, I still have a couple of hours of light left, time to grab a camera and go.
