My Entry to the #Monomad challenge: People, Architecture, & Nature

As we kick off a new month, it's wild to think we're already getting close to the end of the year. Now seems like the perfect time to take a step back and see how far we've come in the past month.

So, while this post is all about my #monomad photography challenge entry, I gotta share some exciting news... I recently hit my 8th milestone for this year! I just crossed the 8,000 HP mark, and I'm already pumped to reach the next one. Honestly, I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support from the Hive community. It’s been huge for my growth on the platform, and one community that’s really helped me level up is the Black and White photography team.

I jumped into that community to sharpen my photography skills by learning from some of the amazing photographers there. Plus, I wanted to share a little slice of my city with everyone through my #monomad entries.

I think it’s super important to keep pushing forward with our goals; whether they’re financial, creative, or just about growing our network by connecting with others on the platform. Sure, financial growth is a big motivator, but building connections with others is just as crucial to our success. We’re securing the platform with our staking efforts, but it’s our engagement with each other that keeps it alive.

This week, I’ve rounded up a bunch of photos I’m excited to share with the community. I’ve got a mix of themes, so I’ve broken them down into three categories: People, Architecture, and Nature.

Let’s start with People, which, hands down, is the trickiest subject to capture. I can’t control the subjects or the situation, so it’s all about timing and catching something interesting when the moment strikes.

Next up is Architecture. This is probably the easiest for me because I’m naturally drawn to leading lines, symmetry, and patterns. It’s a subject I’m really into because I feel like I have more control over how the photo turns out.

And finally, there’s Nature. I love photographing nature because it’s just so therapeutic and calming. There’s something about being in nature that’s really good for the soul.

That’s all I’ve got for today! I hope you enjoy the photos, and I’m wishing you all an awesome week ahead!
