I was head of yearbook for my school for two years, and I also did a lot of prom/graduation shoots. When it started becoming a job/doing it for money, I felt a lot more responsible and less passionate. Over those two years I burned out, and I put my camera down for a year and a half.I saw a picture on /r/postprocessing that made me feel some really strong emotions, and I picked up the camera again after a long time. It feels really good to go out and shoot what you want to shoot, with your own creative ideas in mind. I wasn't ever close to being a truly professional photographer, but even after experiencing the small responsibility that I did, I don't think I'll ever be one, and that's okay.I think one of the biggest things for myself, was to create a photography instagram, not for followers, but as sort of an archive to post my favorite shots. I don't tell anyone about it, but it's just to keep track of my own progress.Recently all I've wanted to do is go out and take pictures, and while life is still busy, it feels good to be passionate about it again. via /r/photography https://ift.tt/2NRAo70
