One thing I'm always hoping to do is to make attempt at being better at creating, being better at adding value and being better at looking at what my audience relates more and engage with. Irrespective of the fact that I believe anyone can create whatever they want I believe it's always important that a content creator at times should tilt towards creating things that seems relatable or brings engagement from and to their consumer or audience.
As much as people want to create to make money, it's important to understand that creating to impact makes your content have a purpose to it and this is why you need you make create a certain kind of expectancy anytime you're actually creating. In other to improve as a creator, challenging oneself is essential because your consumers will get more for consuming your content and you in particular will become better for developing your abilities and leaving your comfort zone.
In 2018 I stopped writing the kind of poetry I write, @d-pend was someone who has the most superior aesthetics when it comes to presenting his works, the graphics, the dividers, the images and the blog arrangement in general and I started improving my blog aesthetics as well on steem. This definitely wasn't okay because I couldn't write just poetry alone, I had to become better with my contents and that's why I started making videos for dtube and also started writing about sports.
In 2020 when the lockdown began I began venturing into more better video making and I began to explore into picture editing and well manipulation. By default I love photography but then I couldn't really do much because I couldn't invest much into cameras and well applications that will allow me learn a whole lot. I'm not actually boasting of knowing anything about photography but the attempt at trying to venture into it is what seems essential.
Ladies and gentlemen here are some pictures I took and I only tweaked the HDR level and nothing really much. It's been raining for a long time and this one time i went out I decided to take pictures. I took these pictures because to me it represented hustle it represented the Nigerian average life of average people struggling to make ends meet. Cheers I hope you enjoy it all.

Bro, this Redmi Note 8 smartphone camera creates super crisp picture with just a little HDR tweak 😲
I love them. You did an awesome job. Outdoor pictures are my most favourites. You know, like just shooting random pictures while taking a walk.
I'm glad you you decided to add vlogging to the contents you create and some creative writings asides from just poetry. Who knows, I might have not been able to benefit maximally from your contents if it were to be only poetry. As much as I do try to read your poems, I still don't grasp the message fully. But I think I'm beginning to enjoy reading poems lately and I'm beginning to understand it more. Asides from those that has ambiguous words in them sha.
I must admit, Yes! Your vlogs got better over the time. I've just been lazy to try outdoor vlogging. For, me I like your photos. For the fact you could still create something amazing with your smartphone having little or no knowledge about photography. You deserve a big kudos Man. Keep up the creative job 👍🏽
Beautiful comment man, engaging with you is something I always love to do. Well you're right the redmi note 8 is good but nothing really outrageously good. The Google camera makes it more better.
Yeah I decided I needed to impact better and writing only poetry wouldn't really do that for me. I know that I ultimately don't know anything in photography but I'm trying to be better and I think in about 6 weeks of fully taking pictures I've learnt a whole lot and I believe it's better that everytime I give my consumer and audience something really different everytime I bring my contents. Obviously you're one of my favourite content creator as well and you've done better these past few months.
Ahh.. It's has always been a pleasure to engage with you also brother.
Lol, I was forgetting the assistance the Google Cam App was providing it. Yeah, the more often one gets to try something new, the more one gets better at it. And I'm glad to see you get better at it. Come to think of it, since you started taking pictures with your smartphone you've been inspired to write stories/poem around your own pictures giving you more contents to create and also saving you the stress of searching for pictures to match or fit into your context.
I'm glad you like my works 😌. Thank you for always been my motivation to create and get better at what I do.
You're right about this. Truth is going out and taking pictures I even get to find a way to set the theme of my posts with my pictures this is because I want to create a certain blend of originality around me and it also helps me a lot as well.
😄 That's awesome.
Good morning brother. Do have a nice day ahead.
