I’ve been told dozens of times over the past few years that I should become photographer. Unfortunately staged photo shoots and weddings are not a passion of mine. And I don’t think taking pictures of surreal mountains and waterfalls is truly my thing either. Everyone does that. Yes, you may choose a different angle, or time of year, lighting, etc. – but in the end they all feel the same to me. I need to feel inspired to take photos.

I still REALLY enjoy photography though

After I got married we bought a DSLR camera, because that’s what you do. I had never touched one before and had 3 days to learn it. We took it on our honeymoon and next thing you know -- I’m up at 5am every morning taking pictures at sunrise. I was quickly finding a passion for photography. And here we are, 3 years later and I can happily say I know how to take a decent picture.

I give Steemit the credit for helping me get them into a Photo gallery. Without Steemit, they would just be sitting on a hard drive or not liked on instagram.

How I got these pictures into the gallery may surprise you, if you haven’t figured it out already, but it’s another passion of mine as well.

I wouldn't call it magic but it works the same way.

And I left the pictures large so you could tell what you're looking at..

So the truth is they really are my photos but I created my own Photo Gallery for them. I've seen all the awesome work other people on here have done and the amazing trips they've taken. But I haven't done that yet and neither have I been to anywhere worth bragging about. So I figured I would bring the photo gallery to me and make my own exhibit. I used my knowledge of Photography, Photoshop, Lightroom, Sketchup, and IndigoRenderer to accomplish this.

Obviously I don't have the best photography out there but I don't think I have the worst either. I'm happy being somewhere in the middle. But if you for some odd reason have the urge to want your photography in a gallery of your own, I can do that. I'll take more time with it too and make your gallery even more interesting than mine. And It'll only cost you some Steem or Bitcoin ;)
