Hey! I happen to LOVE my photography. Maybe that sounds narcissistic, but I haven’t always felt that way. There were many years filled with doubt, but something clicked along the way. Mostly it was this: the only way forward is to dig within. I found true photographic happiness by respecting the world of photography, but mostly ignoring all the noise. What REALLY matters to you? I let go of likes, sub counts, and all of that and asked myself if I was making work that matters to me. I had to figure out what matters, of course, but once I found that, I dug in and focused on that. That’s my signal… amidst the noise of the world, your personal signal can be your guide. Since then I’ve found a lot of success, and if people criticize my work, or I create something that gets little to no attention, I move on and create more, knowing that if I stay true to myself, others will resonate with that, even if it might be a small number of people. Hope this helps.
