For me, I started photography with Minimalism itself. I am just about 3 years into it. Also I went through your flickr photos and I particularly liked a) fall forever in concrete and b) this old highway. I also agree to the fact that its difficult selling minimalist or abstract photos, but once someone picks a liking for it, the sales keeps pouring in. Thank you for taking out time to read my blog and viewing my YouTube videos. I send you greetings from Jaipur, the pink city of India.Prakash Ghaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835705393615750078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212662473250718097.post-46640007026965984532016-01-20T19:57:28.180+05:302016-01-20T19:57:28.180+05:30Also, I really enjoyed looking at your work!

I've been doing photography for around 8-9 years now. I did a lot of portrait work, some weddings here and there, but it never really was for me. I enjoyed doing that type of work, but I enjoyed my own creative personal projects more so. In the beginning I started doing photography because of a divorce. Using a camera became my creative escape and instead of sitting around at home feeling sorry for myself, doing photography lifted me up and got me back on my feet. Last year, 2015, marked a big change for me in my photo work as I pulled away from a great deal of portrait work and took a full dive into abstract and minimalism. However, with this new change in direction, came some negatives from those who have enjoyed my other work through the years. Sometimes abstract and minimalism photography just doesn't work for some viewers because they lack a simple understanding of it. Abstract and minimalism provoke strong emotions to me in photographs that some might not seem to understand, see or feel for themselves. There are a great deal of people who have enjoyed my work for years, that I now find do not enjoy my current abstract work very pleasing to look at. I am ok with that. I am doing what I love to do and that is what matters the most, not what others think I should be doing. I even put a photo book of my abstract work on Blurb.com and I've only sold a couple copies. http://www.blurb.com/books/6646153-after-the-blaze It makes me sad sometimes, but I still have to keep moving forward. I came to this blog post from your youtube video (minimalist photography p1 and p2) You can find me on Flickr at... https://www.flickr.com/photos/lpaulphotography/L.
