I often think of the past as a past experience and compare who I am and what I am now in terms of creativity. The blog diary helps me draw some conclusions. All the recorded thoughts and statements then may no longer work now.
For example, for a long time I did not like the ubiquitous summer greenery.
And in general, I considered summer to be an uncreative period.
What frequency was I on at the time that made summer seem uncomfortable for me to take pictures?
It's simple: the summer was inconvenient for photographing night yards, and at that time I was only thinking about them.
The reportage wave is the most universal and comprehensive!
Absolutely any time of the year, any weather and any place on the globe is available for photographing.
And most importantly, there is always a desire and interest to shoot on a reportage frequency.
All other photographic worlds-genres-frequencies-waves are very capricious.
Take natural graphics: summer and winter conditions are unsuitable for this genre.
Take dugouts: any time is the best time to shoot them, except in summer because of the white nights.
The street is also moody: you need contrasting light, that is, sunny weather.
And reportage photography is ubiquitous.
Has the sun come out? Good. Was it cloudy? Well, let's take the light as it is.
...Over the years, skills are honed, experience is accumulated, and creative growth occurs.
But once I've taken some shots or series of pictures, I can't block them out, beat them, or make them better.
Some shots still turn out to be implemented differently, thereby they become better than the previous ones.
But there are some that you want to improve, but there are also those that you don't want to touch, because they are good enough for this.
It's like I don't want to interrupt, overwrite that status code, the memory code...
And you need to understand and feel what you want to improve from the photos, what you don't want, what you've managed to implement, and what you haven't.
These are such subtle moments that are very difficult to understand and feel.
Sometimes, if you can't improve on last year's shooting, then you don't have to try anymore.
And in some cases, you would to go all the way and try to do better as many times as necessary.
It's best not to delve into my thoughts, but just take a camera and shoot what my heart tells me to!
Things may be completely different for you.
Everyone has their own creative path to follow.
