I am only a point and shoot, smart phone photographer at the moment and I feel the same way!
...the first time I’d found a form of creative expression that really resonated with me.
I have others that I love, particularly music, but I am a very visual person and found myself envious of the re-explorations of the experiences a friend had taken in when editing his images. I wanted to take my 90+ grandma up to the summits of mountains I climb, or showing her a new perspective of her beloved rose bush. I am taking this post as a nudge to take more pictures while I learn about photography so I can practice as I learn more. Thanks to folks like @skiesandsports and Steemit, I never have to quit learning :)
Thanks! That's awesome to hear! I really hope that in these articles I can just share a few ideas to make people think if nothing else!
