hi thanks for your interest and support.
I don't really have an answer for you.
I think photography as an extension of my own eyes and mind. It's like writing stories though using images or framing a particular movement or a specific expression. So, I don't know if I want all this to turn in a professional way. I don't have (I suppose) the set of mind to be a "student" and I don't really have enough money to think about it seriously (and you know, they're really needed if you plan to go pro). 
I guess this is going to pile on over all the other things I seem to be inclined to, without really taking them seriously.
I think I have to learn a lot of things to be a better photographer, and so this I will do: I'll study and practise even more, to be able to express myself freely. 
Maybe one day I'll be prepared enough to go pro. But I want to experience everything on my sking, not just because someone tells me to do it. 
[I saw your pics and I see that you've got a good eye ]

Hm I like a free (stubborn?) mindset - that's when the greatest art is created!

Also, reminds me of so many YouTubers nowadays. Lots of them started with the mindset you described and produced amazing video's - which I consider pure art! - yet became empty 'content creators' whose work is a product of money and pressure (and still love/passion). I personally prefer art that the creator used as a means to escape and explore, instead of survive (financially).

But to make this comment slightly more relatable to yours: you see the same thing happen in photography. There is a lot of 'cold art' out there that really annoys me and is in stark contrast with personal work from hobbyists. Maybe what makes a great artist is the ability to combine [endless] passion with money (or someone else does the money-part for you, what sometimes happens after an artist's death).

Well, good luck with your photo's! Thanks for your thoughtful response

I can easily relate to what you call "cold art". I know what you mean. Sometimes I see these beautiful and shining pictures with perfect editing and I ask myself: is there here anything authentic to express here? Very expensive tools, right, but if the landscape or the subject weren't so extraordinary, the picture would be without heart, without meaning. Just a quick show for quick eyes not used to dwell on things.
That's it. I prefer my "technical innocence" and those old things my father taught me with older photography: lines, shapes, colours, feelings. Only this way I can be free.
So, yes, as you say, only a fortunate and witty combination of money and passion can give you real art with real money, without betraying your own essence (and the same goes for the music today, so spoiled and untrue!)
I want to wish you good luck to you, too (with everything), and I thank you for this precious moment of conversation. It is very rare, indeed, stopping by and try to focus things better.

Thanks dear! I enjoyed the conversation as well - I think we have a similar mindset, because all you said made perfect sense to me! Bya

My pleasure! I admire people like you who can really work hard on online mangas...I really have a ridicolous amount of sketches and ideas but it seems always the wrong time to draw, if you know what I mean...Meanwhile, i repeat, keep it up and I'll follow
