Instagram was the place to share photos. That was its sole purpose. Remember the filters and the hashtags?

Well… things have changed.

If we're not creating reels with strong, silly hooks or long carousels (multiple photos in one post), then even our friends and family may not even see what we share.

Look, I'm not complaining. That's the game, and those who choose to play it can potentially benefit greatly from it. I've tried myself, but I'd rather focus on just taking photos right now. Maybe you are also on the same camp as me as an artist.

That being said, there are some photos I can't post on Instagram or even Pinterest. Some, not consistently, or else the algorithm gods put me on time out. Others, not even once for multiple reasons.

Regardless, they are photos I still want to share with you. Because I want to say something or because they, the photos themselves, have something to say.

So here are a few of those photos for you to see and, hopefully, feel something from seeing them.

Let me know in the comments what they made you feel and follow me on Instagram if you aren’t already to see what I can share in those channels.
