I really enjoy talking photos📸 of nature and desert scapes and anything I find interesting at the moment. I had been designated as the unofficial historian in my family because of the “eye” I have for a good photo op.😁 I use many of my own pics in my posts and reels. Before, I used them as inspiration to write poetry and stories.
I had put away this part of me, as i had to focus on putting the pieces of my life back together. I am still in that process, but I have come to realize that I can not afford to bury anything that brings me joy. I must do more of the things that make me happy, to balance and offset the heaviness of my day to day battles. My mental health, especially, is dependent on having positive outlets.
Benefits of (Phone) Photography as a Hobby
🌼It inspires me to get outside of the house.
🌼 It is a creative outlet for me. I enjoy the editing process and trying apps and filters.
🌼It’s free…with my paid cell phone service, of course.
🌼It preserves special moments and memories for me to enjoy again and again.
🌼It allows me to express my feelings and ideas artistically.
🌼I can potentially earn extra income. Apps like foap and shuttershock pay small fees for the use of your photos.
I found great pics I had taken some years ago and had forgotten about. I took this pic of a plumeria flower on vacation in Maui 5 years ago. I can still remember the fragrance that filled the air. Sweet memories.
I look forward to sharing more of my photos with you all in the future. 😁🤳
