So when I started photography, everyone was like, Wow, this is so cool, do more, buy a better camera, you can do better<\/em> and all that overwhelming encouragement, which I’m so grateful to everyone who did it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since my audience didn’t grow \u2014 I didn’t exactly try to, people in my static audience have grown accustomed to my photography, and the responses have eventually stopped. I’m human. I was a bit sad about it. But then, I picked myself up and started to do what I wanted. What I pleased. For myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My photography<\/a>, which is not the best in the class, has always been intertwined with travelling, so it has always led me to new experiences<\/a>. I’m so passionate about travelling and photography. I post photos of what I see on those travels. I write about it. Some still respond, whom I am still grateful to. Many don’t. I don’t care.
