This was when I got a couple of mobile phones with what I thought were fantastic camera phones. The first was an Xperia. The second was a Samsung S21. I had no idea about photography or how to take photos I just took snapshots of what looked good to me or the things I was trying to share with others so they knew what plant tree or bird I was talking about.
It was the beginning of everything. People started to tell me that I had an eye for things. I thought they were just being nice.
So, 5 years later I thought about it and decided to give photography more time and patience to learn something new.
