Scanners used to be used only for making copies, faxing, creating PDFs, scanning slides, photos and photo negatives. But not anymore. They can now be used to create beautiful art with resolution and print sizes well beyond the size of the scanner. Perhaps even as large as a wall in your home. There is no other equipment to purchase or set up, then take down, making it easy to create this art within minutes of conceiving an idea. You are limited only by your imagination.
If you only rely on your close friends and family’s feedback, you will not learn as much or become a better photographer. You need to share your photos with other photographers who are better than you to get their feedback on what you did right and where you can improve.
Previously, I had been photographing flowers in botanical gardens, but had not seen large fields of wildflowers along the highways and backroads until moving to Texas.
Through photography, we capture what for us, in that moment, was a beautiful scene or an event we were experiencing. Our images subsequently allow us, and others, to revisit those moments that otherwise might fade from our memory as time marches on.
The Power of Personal Projects by Valerie Hoffman
At the start of a new year, lots of photographers sign themselves up for motivational photo challenges. A 365 Day project is one of the most popular. The idea is to commit to getting out and creating a new image EVERY SINGLE DAY. In addition, you need to edit and get it posted online – maybe to your own personal social media page, or one as a part of a larger group doing the same thing.
