It's been a long time coming.

littlekidogo (49) in art • 5 years ago

This is my art 🙄 it's the first time I'm posting about it on Steemit.

Since moving into a bigger place I must say it's nore than nice to have physical space to try some combinations out. Oh also... I finally finished that little blue light thing-a-ma-gig hanging in the top right hand corner. Will post more details tomorrow 😉.

It's been a confusing journey so far, which I will also explain as I start telling the story here. But all in all I feel more comfortable to start telling the story now... which to me is what has taken me a long time to get to. So yes here I am at it once again.

Not sure where this is going, but I know I can't stop. If there's one thing I've learned over the past few years it's that I cannot ever again deny myself the things I love doing most, that makes me feel the most alive, no matter if I don't understand why it makes me feel so - I guess even especially if I don't know or understand it.

Phew that's out. Let me carry on this Monday now 😅🕵 Enjoy yours!

*Ps the picture quality is a bit shit. Think I took these ones at night, also my phone's camera is not the best. However I have to start where I am no?

Thanks for reading,

PS - @littlekidogo is me and my partner (Superbike_Z)'s concept and it means 'little by little'. ('Kidogo' means little in Swahili) Also we are completely new here and trying to find out what to do and how to do it, but take note we are here to make friends, not earn coin/s--------------------[oops the cat did that] and not sure how to go about starting out... what would you advise?

The collages are looking amazing:) Welcome to Steemit, i think one of the first things you can do is add a link of another social media account at your description. This is a way for people to know more about you, then keep on posting more amazing art and in time you can join a community to make friends and find support of like minded people:)

You'll find your footing on Steem, lots to do and read and share. Steem block chain social side can be addicting at times.

Thanks so much for the encouragement @bashadow. Well I'd personally rather be 'addicted' to socialising on steem than facebook (didnt even want to write that name). But we humans are social beings so can we really call it 'being addicted'? Perhaps blockchain soial media will give us and are giving us a less guilty feeli g when socialising online. It's so difficult to find people to socialise with in the real world for me, people are very elusive and dont have time to hang out unless if it's people in their near vicinity and I live a bit further from the city. So Steemit sounds like a good place for me to make friends to intereact with regularly 😉 What do you think? What type of conversations are the most addictive? Hehe

It changes a lot for meas to what I am doing on steem block chain. When my wife first got me here it was because there was so much to read story wise, there still is a lot of great writers on Steem Block Chain and several of them are published Authors. So free reading material was what got me going first.

Then I found a small group of people that were starting a game, but non game up on Steem Block chain, that was the IFC. (Information Finding Championship run by @apolymask via his @ifc account). Through there I met a lot of people and had a lot of fun participating. It was also through there that I learned about Discord Chat, (that was both good and bad, in that I met even more people, bad in that it took a lot of time up).

For awhile I was also with a group of nice people that were trying to help new users find their way around Steem and learn how to use it. That was @newbieresteemday. Once again a place where I met a lot of very nice people. Both of those groups were more in the social aspect of the Steem Block Chain.

Then I got a nice camera, and got in the hobby of digital photography, lots of real people in the photography groups also, and most of the "more Professional one's" are willing to help and share how-to's on photography.

So addictive wise conversations things it is hard to pin down, I have just gotten to where I like the social side of steem. I do like the reward side also because that drives the social side. People need Steem Power to interact, with out that interaction there is no social side of steem.

Thanks for explaining @bashadow it really sounds like you've been having fun. I sure have a lot to learn here. I have been looking for the photography groups. There are so many I am not sure which ones to join? I kinda feel the same with Discord. Any tips as to how to go about finding ones 'vibe' (if I can call it that)?

Finding the different and various Photography groups can be a bit daunting at times. You can look through the tags #photo #photography, look at a few of the post that catch your eye, then look at what other tags they used in their post, or if they have any banners at the end of their post from some of the photo groups.

While not a photo group per say, the tag #wednesdaywalk is a very nice group of social people, the reason for the tag is to get people to go out once a week, take a walk and take some pictures of their walk and share the walk with other followers of the tag. It is run/managed by @tattoodjay. Some of the post can be quite extensive and some of them not so, but all of them are from people looking to share and have fun.

There are a few other various photo challenges/contest out there, that is also a place to sort of meet new users, but when it is a competition the focus of the participants are often for the rewards, not so much the interaction. (This is not true of all the contest, some have a core group that do interact with each other).
