Thank you! That's great to hear :) I love to teach and inspire people with my own photos and experience
After reading your Intro, I realize that you are young enough to be my grandchild, though I have none. Lol! Please keep teaching, but keep learning too. No one can ever disputed your experience, because it is unique to you! Keep going!
The learning does not finish till we take our last breaths. I'm constantly learning of new ways to do things. I'm working on some teaching for Steemit myself. I have given a few workshops in the past about photography, stock photography, and the various tools I use. My strategy has been to build a little following first before creating my more in depth posts. I read that tip on some guide somewhere on here.
It's been good advice for me, because it has given me time to focus and plan.
Haha i dont know how old you think I am...but that would make you older than I think you are ;) but you are absolutely right about the learning part. You're never too old to try new things and being able to enjoy them to the fullest!
And yes I know I read the same thing about not going in too deep before you have a decent audience, but thats a double edged sword there...it would be a waste to make high quality content without an audience...but why would an audience be interested in you when you only throw out low quality stuff? I am keeping it in balance I guess, which is hard enough!
Well you said you were 29 - born in 1988 maybe? I was born in 1947, so I could very easily be your grandmother. I'm not shy about age, and don't feel it anyway! LOL!
I have wrestled with the same conundrum about times and what to write etc. I am ready now to get away from the quick daily challenge things, and to start really writing. I have a short tutorial in the works, but one photo that would be a perfect example of a point I want to make is actually an old transparency. I do have an old slide scanner, but have no idea if it would work with Windows 10! I could photograph it on the light box, so I may do that.
Engaging like this is good. It does give you more comments, even if they are your own comments responding to the comments of others. They are all counted!
You know thats right, i forgot...i am 29, born in '87. But you know whats funny? You say I could be grandchild cause youre from '47. Well my father is from '44 ;) I know its exceptional and my mother is much younger...so everything could have been possible!
