I've recently taken up stock photography shooting, not as a commercial venture. I just recently bought a new phone, an Android, and it's the first time I've had a camera that actually feels like it can pretty easily create, take great photos. I've traditionally used like for my YouTube channel very big rigs and it's actually been I'm a belated convert to the joy of having something that can slot in your pocket because it does make creating content like spontaneous. The only thing I wish was actually it was less conspicuous because I love the type of stuff I do and a bunch of other people who aren't creating, is much better when there is less background stuff. <br><br>But anyway, I wonder something, so this right now is just like as I said it's a hobby, and it's like why these are fun photos, so I take a bunch when I'm out. I go through my reel, I create my own stock library, which if I get back into YouTube or writing I hope will stock always comes in handy when you least expect it. If nothing else I just enjoy kind of chronicling like right now I taking photos of the big buildings in Tel Aviv. I just enjoy chronicling what here and I feel like that legitimate. <br><br>I feel like a lot of people would turn around and say you're stupid why are you just taking images and posting for free people aren't even paying for them. I did sell some stock before and it just sounded it wasn't financially worth my time. So I always feel very defensive about it, like if people challenge it, especially because I'm very much against exploitation and content creation not being monetized. But I see what I'm trying to do at least as being a little bit different. <br><br>I'm not just trying to create pretty photographs. I see it as if there's a creator who wants to create content about stuff I also happen to really care about and lives in a different country and they can't easily just walk out the door and take photos of a construction site in Israel. If I can help that person with an image, I don't care about the fact that I don't make money from that. I'd almost feel less comfortable making money from such work. So, what do you say to that dichotomy? That there is...
