Capturing Change: The Transformative Potential of Photography
In my journey through photography, I grapple with the prevailing notion that my images hold the potential to ignite transformative change within society. The idea that each photograph I capture could alter the course of history suggests a power to resonate with and impact groups and individuals at a profound level, instigating a collective incentive for change. Yet, amidst this optimistic perspective, I find myself questioning the validity of such beliefs.
Little habits can change your life
You want to get good at something my advice is to start small and slog away at it every day even when you don't feel like it. Make sure that starting isn't hard, make it as easy as possible. Little effort with the shortest lifespan is how I get good at anything.Photography, the slog is picking up the camera and taking it where ever I go. Writing, simple every time I open up the computer I also open up a notepad or writing app. Working out, simple have weights next to my clothes, and only do a few reps and the weights aren't that heavy. The trick with all is to do it every day thou. Consistency, I'm a morning person I do all my good habits in the morning. A few weights, a few words a simple act of picking up the camera. It's the little habits that make us who we are. A small kind act, asking someone we love how they are. Drinking water in the morning. Going to be at 10 pm. Walking up the stairs instead of the elevator. Smiling at strangers. Reading a book in the evening. Opening a door for someone. Picking that rubbish you see on the floor. Cleaning the dishes while cooking. It's the small things that make us who we are. It's what we normally do on an average day that becomes our life.
