Hi Dave,
you are an artist, for context. Not just shooting random pics.
When we create, we open ourselves up to subconscious. So, what looks like someone simply taking a photo is an artist exploring their inner workings and soul.
It’s an act of being raw ~ SEEN.
WE feel everyone sees what we have just accessed from our depths.
And it’s uncomfortable feeling exposed.
So the fear is based on being seen, but the world out there cannot see what you have uncovered.
Only you can or the sensitive viewer who picks it up when you share that image.
Be kind to yourself, my friend.
