It's not cheating 😀 It's just that old awful idea foisted on people that anything "easy and free" has little value.

Hmmm, maybe a comparison in the art world of hyper-realism and paintings that take months and years to complete have more value than an abstract work that may have been painted in one day or even an afternoon. Haha I'm wandering out into the wilds here...

"Phone shots of sunsets are so easy for everybody that I'm not special and unique anymore. And if everyone can do it I will have to get a job that I actually hate just like everyone and their jobs they probably wouldn't do if they didn't have to. \Because if you love it, it's just too rare and impossible a job to have." Haha.

Sorry if I'm not making sense. This is a big part of all the creative arts. Artists dealing with it forever yes? ❤️ 😀
