It’s easiest to explain that, unlike most of my peers, being artistic or creative was never a driving factor for me. I do not consider myself an artist. My passion isn’t creating art. It’s truthfully not even photography.

It’s what I can do with photography, a subtle distinction I know.

For better or for worse; I share a lot in various photographer communities. And it’s not uncommon, that after I do, I get approached from peers looking for coaching or requesting I teach. Which is a compliment (I’ll never deny that) but I also don’t think I’m there yet.

I’m still so busy trying to figure things out for myself, so teaching isn’t something I feel proficient enough yet to be doing.
