“In Photography, there is no such thing as a perfect photograph. It is a compromise between what you want in the photograph and what you are willing to accept in the photograph.
Photography is a creative art form that requires a lot of thought and a lot of practice. It requires you to be able to choose what elements of a photograph you are willing to accept as part of the final look, and to do a little more work to make the photo truly “you”. For example, if I was looking at a picture of my best friend, she could have a rough, edgy, and somewhat wild look to her face.
It’s not that I believe in the value of photography, but rather that I believe in the value of compromise. You can’t have everything you want in a photograph, but you can be very particular as to what you don’t want. And at the end of the day you don’t want to look like the person you were a few minutes ago.
Now, I’ll admit, this point is a little controversial. There are people out there who believe photography is a way of getting an image of you that will last forever and should be used for that very reason. This is a huge part of why I really like it, and why I started taking pictures in the first place.
But, on the other hand, there are people out there who believe photography is a way of getting an image that will never be used, and should be kept for that very reason. This is a huge part of why I really like it but I agree with someone who says, “if you want to keep a photo forever, do not use it. What you don’t want to look like anymore, is what I want it to look like.
If you want to keep a photo forever, you are going to have to live with the fact that the person who created the photo is gone (or in this case has moved). If you really want to preserve your work, then create a way to give your photos to the person who created them. I know that is asking a lot, but the only way to get your work known and preserved is by creating an archive.
The problem is you can keep your work forever. But youll have to create some way to keep it. I know its not the most sexy thing to say, but the truth is we all have the same things we can work with. If you cant take a picture of me, I’m out of luck so I guess that’s what I should do.
There are a number of ways to archive photos, but all of them will involve a bit of money. And that may be the biggest reason why most of us avoid them. The archive is not only a great way to get your work out and preserve it, but it also allows other people to find your work. And, of course, the money you’d need to pay to create one is likely not worth the time and energy it will take to add that.
I’m not exactly sure why this is, but there seems to be a growing trend towards people who make use of the various photo archive services. A recent article by the BBC lists several of the more common of these services; but you also have sites like Flickr and Picasa that are dedicated to this particular service.
While the above might not be a bad thing, I think that it’s even better when the above is coupled with the ability to make money. What I mean with this is that you don’t just use the photos yourself, but you can also make money from the photos. For example, there is a site that allows you to upload your photos and earn money for the time you put into it.
