If you have been a photographer for a while, you may know what you are good at upon photographing: the thing you would love to photograph, you cannot help photographing, or you can photograph very well with ease or luck. Say, if you are a (kind of) serious baseball player, you may have a position you would love to play. It may be like that.
As you keep playing baseball, you would not like to play all the positions. I believe it is true with photography, too. You shall not practice all kinds of photography just “for experience,” since too much effort achieving such a goal will consume your overall interest in photography. I may claim, “It is harmful.”
For instance, not specifically as “sports, portraiture, landscape, etc.,” I came to know I am good at photographing like this. The year 2006. I was kind of compressing three dimensions into two.
Then, recently I photographed this. With experience, I guess I can add some “seasoning” to make it more flavorful.
For more than eighteen years, I sort of keep photographing in my position of field, and I will. I feel blessed. KT
