So I finally gathered my thoughts and found the strength to write a full blog again. Posting single photos with a brief description is pretty simple and takes almost no time, but there is nowhere to think. I know that nobody reads anything here and everyone does not care what is written and where. You can easily copy-paste any text, or you can write complete rubbish - all the same, upvotes fly from bots with steam locomotives or manually, but without looking what's inside. This can even be a small plus, since you can not be shy about your crazy thoughts.
Since my posts are only about photography, I will write about it. I had many different periods of my passion for photography in my life. It can be said that I started over twice. And so, when I started taking pictures for the second time with a digital SLR, I liked every photo I took. Almost every shot I considered awesome! And all this was published on social networks. Then came the realization that not all of my photos are good. Well, then self-esteem only went downhill. But if you draw another graph, which depends on the area that I like, then it goes the opposite way up. I like everything and everywhere! Of course, I prefer more real living corners of the world. There are more of them.
There are all kinds of thoughts and I think absolutely from all points of view. It is possible that I like it everywhere and all because I do not have the opportunity to see and feel something more. I have no opportunity to be in more interesting and significant places. I am content with what is and I accepted it. Yes, I also consider this point of view.
I was absolutely at every point in my city. Not once already I took pictures of many places. You just can’t imagine how hard it is to find something new, given the small area of a small provincial town and even the surrounding area.
It is necessary not only to accept, it is necessary something more. Probably, you need to fall in love with the environment of our world so much that you find the strength and inspiration to photograph in those places that you should be sick of.
These photos cost absolutely nothing. They are of little interest to anyone. Perhaps only a foreigner will be interested in the species, but then as a one-time viewing.
These photographs are a fact of our being at the moment of a certain time and no more.
So why am I still taking unnecessary photos for anyone?
The answer will be very difficult not only for you, but also for me.
This is the creation of a time machine. And the main tool for time travel is our brain, our mind, our thoughts.
And it works.
A documentary photograph is a memory amplifier, a guide to history, at a point in time.
It doesn’t matter in what style the photograph was taken - it will always be documentary.
No matter how it sounds, but first of all, everyone takes pictures for himself. Photography is primarily a portrait of yourself.
It is also a great tool for self-knowledge. Without a photograph, I would not have gone that far. But this is dangerous, because the more you know, the less meaning.
To be continued...
