There's a danger that it becomes less of a release and more of an obligation. Finding the balance can be difficult. I'm constantly trying to keep my work as personal as I can in a practical way, if that makes sense, lol... great comment! Appreciate your thoughts on this topic... well, on any topic :) <br />P.S. I love your photography btw...M.Christine Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625077049665510950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333454863419405680.post-78420465887201883712011-06-16T10:18:25.099-04:002011-06-16T10:18:25.099-04:00Quitting photography for me was a release into the...Quitting photography for me was a release into the realm of freedom. I LOVED being a photographer because I love people but now I truly enjoy taking photos. I'm certainly not suggesting you quit! lol! But I agree that the personal subjects help in the area of relaxation. You're really photographing for yourself intimately and enjoying creation and your family that way. Perhaps my photography has taken somewhat of a technical down-turn but I don't mind anymore when there's so much emotion and enjoyment behind it now. One day, when I have a little more time, I will begin to study again and hone those skills a little more. <br /><br />Wow, that's more than I intended to write! Just a smidgen passionate lately :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
