(takeover by @andyto) Grab a camera, any camera. It could be your smart phone, point and shoot, or DSLR. Any camera will do! Now the next step is to take photos. Take photos of the things that interest you. Do a quick google search of any locations within a 10 mile radius. After the shoot, share your photos with the world. I know there may be some anxiety with sharing, but you have to move past that. If you don’t receive feedback on your work to begin with how do you develop as an artist? Don’t be discouraged and don’t ever think that you’re not good enough because i’ve been told in the past that I wasn’t good enough. That only inspired me to get to where I am today. One final thing while you’re out shooting please don’t forget to have fun. You’re probably here on this account because you love photography. Don’t forget that. At the end of the day it’s you and your photos that are making an impact on the world. “You got a dream… You gotta protect it. People can’t do somethin’ themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want somethin’, go get it. Period.” -Will Smith.
