Yes, we always reveal ourselves in our art even if others don’t see us the same way

Very good question and thoughts. I agree with Tisha. I think, there is always something that we reveal about ourself even if it‘s subconscious. Why would we even bother to make this piece of art?

Thank you for your feedback. I feel there is always a little bit of us in what ww do. I just wonder sometimes if our art could tell us more if what we really felt.

I might be a bit scared of what my art would tell me lol! But i'm with you Brandon, there's always something held back with me too - i'm not sure exactly what that is, but I feel it strongly at times. I also feel that ( and I think i've said this to you or elsewhere before ) the 'doing/creating/ act is always so much more important and rewarding to me than the outcome. So perhaps what it says is not quite so important. That said, we all send our work out there to be consumed and interpretted, to represent us, so perhaps we should take the time to ask what is says about us?!

Great piece, I'm gonna reflect on the questions you ask. I have tunnel vision and I'm colorblind, that definitely influenced my photography style, but I've never asked myself why I like urban settings so much, small anonymous figures and nostalgia.

Lots of questions to solve. Just one more: Is that when you're sad you photograph sad things, or we prefer to photograph happy thing to compensate our lack?
