In a world of digital innovation and creative rendition, basic artistic photography has slowly started dwindling, but having an adaptive mindset, the artistic value can continue undeterred. Don't get me wrong, photography will never die out. As of the moment it hit recorded human history it has become a basic yet prominent part of our lives. However, the digital age has opened up a world of creativity that easily overrides that of the photographic artistry.
My point is, don't get disheartened. Take your pictures, try new things, don't be afraid to test your creativity!
