Why We Should Share Our Photos
Friday, July 31st, 2009Free photos and pictures to download for all to use and abuse ? Why not? Many of us who have had plenty of practice in clicking our cameras, box Brownie or Nikon, have always been more than happy to bore anyone who cared to see our beloved works.
Then came the internet, digital cameras, free editing suites, such as gimp that blows the socks of of any darkroom. Add to this the fact that film and developing cost have disappeared. Why is it that most of us now want paying for our pictures?
True that we all need extra cash these days, but, unless you really are David Bailey, it is unlikely that you will get rich selling your photographs. The real pleasure in photography is pleasing the eyes of others and occaisionally stirring them emotionally, which for me is what every shot should do for someone. The one that stirs everyone is the one that says you are David Bailey!
