The Little Things
Not so recently, I have started taking pictures, for about a year or two I have been taking pictures of things off and on just as a way to relax and I have loved taking pictures since I was about 10. But, as I go through life I have a habit of putting things I like to do on the back burner to take care of things I need to to and other people. But, I am getting back into as a hobby. I joined this amateur photography group on Facebook a while back and there is where I post my very amateur pictures. They change topics once a month and I usually have to look up what the topic is online and get ideas. I am so new at this and learning more and more every day.
So, I take my little cheap camera, well, cheap as compared to the people who have all the equipment and name brand cameras and lenses and a variety of things I am still learning about. So, this months topic is still life photography and of course I looked it up just to find some cool examples and give me some cool ideas. So, I took a bunch of pictures with my camera, someone told me it is not about the camera but the person taking the pictures. I said ok this person has a lot to learn but I took some pictures, outside, inside, of this and that and that and this and looked at more examples and got some inspertion and some courage and posted a few on my site online, the group. I got some positive feedback, of course they are good people on that site so they won't say anything mean. But, I think I am getting the hang of it slowly.
I am slowly getting back to just doing little things for me, stuff I like to do just for me. Photography, writing, baking for starters, just little things I enjoy and not worrying about anything for at least ten minutes per day. I feel less stressed and more relaxed. It is not much but I will take what I can get.
