It's nice to realize your creative growth by reviewing your old archives. I always tell all novice photographers: do not delete your first photos, keep everything to the last! This is how you can then understand how you have changed your perception or upgraded your skill.
I photographed the dandelion field on film, then on the first digital DSLR...And now now. And the difference feels huge.
In general, I took pictures of dandelions as soon as I picked up the camera.
There was a period when they seemed trivial to me, I thought I had outgrown them.
And now I'm back to these wildflowers again, only in a completely different way.
I am constantly tormented by the question: how would my first photography teacher look at my pictures now?
I wonder if he would praise me for my non-standard approach or scold me for breaking a lot of rules?
..It's a pity, I'll never know.
On the other hand, it's good that I no longer need the approval or feedback of a particular photographer. I can already give feedback myself, which is what I am being asked more and more often.
