My Own Original Art Photography motivated by @velimir

@velimir took a simple photo of a teddy bear in a dumpster. It was not a grandiose sunset over a gaping chasm overlooking a valley of unexplored beauty and wonder...

It was a teddy bear in a dumpster...

But...it had meaning...it had expression...it can be interpreted...

It was original...and that encouraged and inspired me to try it out too...

I am not a Picasso, a Michelangelo, (insert your favorite artist)... but that won't stop me from taking a simple photo...

Enjoy...

The back of an billboard during my drive...

...Aging...dirty...rusty...empty...

An apt description of human nature I guess. The billboard expresses its owner's desire and intent for business...but behind all that advertising and subliminal message...may be a simple desire and love for money...

In our culture, we tend to look on the surface. We do not delve deep enough into the intent and motivation of others. We may judge critically,harshly, and unrighteously...

...But we like that billboard can still stand tall and upright...

@velimir states in his ending blog.... " I encourage everyone to use own texts, thoughts and images as much as possible. Be yourself and stay yourself. This is a proper way to build steemit.com. I do not have respect for dishonest authors. Also, bloggers actually DO matter!"
