Not so much brave as aware and spitting bars would incite things I wouldn't want, lol. Every situation is different and you have to be attuned in the moment to what that is, then you know what to do. Avoided many things that way.
No gansta here, I look quite ordinary, lol. Was out taking photos last night and for whatever reason, three different strangers initiated conversation with me (see, no scary gansta here). It's the camera, it's always the camera. If it were a phone, no one would notice. 😂
Thanks for all the kind words you've left for me to read @trippymane, I appreciate that. I can't pick one favourite out of this bunch either, there's several I like for different reasons, you've hit most of them, LOL!
how do you do it?
Short formula for anything creative, anything in life:
Practice, practice, practice. Patience. Practice, practice, practice. Patience. Learn everything you can wherever you can. Patience. Practice, practice, practice. After you do enough practice, you stop thinking about what you're doing, the technical aspects and it becomes a highly intuitive natural process. To really take anything to it's peak of experience, you must become it.
As an example, the photography I do, while I am shooting it, I am one with tool, subject matter, and the camera lens becomes my eye. Whatever I am intuitively pulled to as subject matter, I shoot. Not every shot is going to be good, many are mediocre, some garbage, some are really great shots. I don't give that any thought, I focus only on what I'm doing in the moment. That's how it works for me.
Thanks and hope you have a good weekend also! 🤗
