A new dawn of my photography

One of the first things I did this morning was to open Lightroom and browse through some of the community photos. I don’t mean Adobe Lightroom CC (the desktop version) but Adobe Lightroom that you can use on a mobile device, tablet, or desktop.

I have begun to re-realize that the sign of a true artist is not being able to see artistically in things that are already artistic but being able to see art in the ordinary world around us. Seeing how others may view our small section of life and the world around us and how we envision life and the world around others.

In addition to discovering more of the work of others, I have also found that I don’t always need to have my “big” camera to create art. I can create interesting and creative art with my smartphone. I have re-learned to see the world around me.

I don’t intend to give up or replace my dedicated camera gear but this newly found venue of a greater community of artists willing to not only show their work but to allow others to process and show how they envision the scene has given me a fresh look at creating art.

I understand that not everyone uses Adobe Creative Cloud products giving them the opportunity to work with the same community as I can. If you do use these products I encourage you to try it out. If you don’t use these products, find a similar community. For me, this community has rekindled a new adventurous creativity.
