Your gear doesn’t matter. Your camera doesn’t make the photo—you do. Create to create. Share to grow. Not to compete.

Shoot for yourself. Not for the algorithm. Not for a double tap. Not for ‘engagement.’ Just for the love of making something you care about.

Putting yourself out there online is weird. Strangers? No problem. People you know? Suddenly terrifying.

If you feel creatively exhausted, stop forcing it. Step away. Breathe. Your creativity isn’t gone—it just needs a reset.

Best advice I ever got: ‘Shoot 100 photos. Delete 99. Post the one that makes you feel something.

You won’t always take the perfect shot. But that weird shadow? That funny street moment? Those small wins keep you going. Appreciate them.

Stop chasing likes. Shoot for yourself. Post what excites you, not what you think the algorithm wants.

I once saw a guy and his dog—both with matching mohawks and leather jackets. It would have been my best photo. But I didn’t have my camera. Never making that mistake again.

Your ‘bad’ photos aren’t failures. They’re proof you showed up. The only real failure is not shooting at all.

Some days, creativity flows. Other days, your brain is a brick. Both are part of the process. Stop overthinking. Just shoot.

The best photos happen when you weren’t planning to take them. Always carry a camera. Even if it’s just your phone.

Photography should be about storytelling, not status symbols. Less gatekeeping, more lifting each other up. Your gear doesn’t make you a photographer—your vision does.

What the hell am I even doing on here? Other photographers, what do you even use X for? The community feels so small on this platform

Some of the best advice I could give my past self would be: 1. If you have an idea for something, just try it. 2. Don't be scared of risk. 3. Call your family more.
