Photographers?

Post Reply New Topic

I am not one. I used to write and had even sold 2 books to a mid-list publisher (also wrote 7 unpublished ones!) but that has been tainted and I have had writer's block for 5 years. There is no love there, only obligation, expectations, fear and endless second-guessing unable to release into true feeling now or passion.

I have been having an urge to take photographs over the past few years with 35mm film so that you have to weigh each picture and what you are REALLY trying to convey. It would be easier for me than trying to use words. I keep thinking of pictures and how to convey an emotion with an image and that's seems so much easier to me and the ONLY way to get my feelings out! (other than drinking and shitposting on the internet but that's just not doing it completely, ya' know, lol)

Anyway, I am buying the camera Friday if my brother has not already bought me one (I hope not) and look forward to taking a plethora of pictures. If there are photography buffs here, I would love to share pictures or favorite photographs of all time/photographers!

I may not be back for a few weeks or so though who knows when the booze is flowing right, lol, but this has all been a bit much for me today, some consternation though equally liable to be booze and exhaustion as I usually function better than this, but I need some time to process the outside world, even the internet world, so off to call my brother, drink beer, watch original Twilight Zone on Netflix or rap videos on YouTube! Not everyone's cuppa, but definitely a low stress awesome chill day for me.

Interesting. I used to write when I waa younger. I got writer's block and I think medication damaged my ability to express myself in that fashion / find words.
My partner is a published author who has had short stories and poetry published. I guess it is hard to do anything if you are given expectations and such which destroy your passion and keeping you from doing exactly what you would like to write or do.

I'm a photographer. I mainly use manual digital and have always loved and used 35mm film with many different cameras. Holgas to SLR. Good to see there aother people here interested in photography

This is my work

I have found that I am not into photographing what it seems mainstream photography groups, classes etc I have been associated with like to take, so it makes it even harder to make friends and network with others who also like photography. Everything I do had a special meaning for me, even though I may not be able to explain it. It makes much more sense to me now realising that I have ASD.

I like taking photos. Wouldn't consider myself a serious photographer, though, but I do like to think I have a great eye for aesthetics.
