how long have you been doing photography?
That's tough to say. I don't think of what I do as photography, more like taking pictures, because I don't know all the stuff photographers know like about focal points and light meters and shutter speeds and ISO and aperture, etc. I just use a phone and a cheap camera that do most of that stuff for me.
But at any rate I think I started taking pictures for this blog in 2011, at first just to fill in between quotations which are what I started this blog for. I had been reblogging photos to break up the look of just quotation after quotation and at some point I thought maybe I could take my own pictures instead. I had a really cheap little point and shoot back then! I soon discovered that looking for beautiful or cool things to take pictures of was helping my depression by distracting me from the thoughts that constantly ran through my mind. So I focused on that.
I guess the answer is 13 years, learning as I go!

Do you typically edit your photos? I like how they all look so natural, as opposed to the high-contrast-high-saturation nature photos many people do.
Thank you. I do often edit the photos a bit, but just to make them look more like what I actually saw. I don't have expensive cameras so sometimes they don't quite show it as it was. Sometimes I even have to decrease the contrast or saturation because in some lights the camera makes it look exaggerated. Messing with them a little is part of what I like about it but it's always with the hope of giving other people the experience I had, like they could be the one standing there.
Edit: It helps that I’m not doing this for money. I don’t have to try to create something fantastic that lots of people will want. I’m just sharing cool stuff I saw with my Tumblr friends. 💚

John Lennon wants to create a risque calendar for his manager Brian Epstein, for Valentine's Day. He cleverly convinces the others to go along!
This was my all 4 during the first year of the Beatles Valentine's Day challenge.
