chardeenly's photostream

My name is Charles Dehn and I'm 15 years old
I love photography! Im not the best at it but I try. Im really striving to get better :)

I really try to keep my photography varied and not make my photostream predictable (ie. all self portraits, all macros, all landscapes, etc.)
Instead, I try to experiment and take all different kinds of pictures.

Sometimes (actually, a lot of times), I'll fall into a unimaginative, black rut of darkness in my mind that completely blocks out any creativity and the above statement wont apply to my photos at all :)

Since I've only been into photography for about a year now, I'm not all that great at it.
Even so, photography is my #1 favorite thing to do :D

I do not believe that the quality of a photograph is solely dependent on the number of comments or favorites it receives.

No doubt you can find AHHHHMAAAZING pictures on Explore, (decided by amount of comments; favorites, blah blah blah) but thats not what MAKES a good photo

Rather, the true quality of a picture is based on the photographers satisfaction with his own work, and the pictures ability to draw you into a scene or display some form of emotion, and convey that in a conceivable manner for the viewer

As the old saying goes,
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

But what am I saying?!

Comments and favorites are still so so so much appreciated!! :D

If you comment or favorite, I'll always try and comment/favorite back :)

Shoot me flickrmail sometime if you feel like it
Im easy to talk to :)
