Three years on X!
I had already been sharing photos on Instagram before, but it was more like an online gallery than a place to connect with others. Creating this account changed that. I became much more active, started engaging with the community, and got to know so many wonderful people along the way.
The virtual photography community is such a welcoming place. The vast majority of people here are genuinely great. Seeing familiar names in the likes and comments, supporting each other, and appreciating each other's work is something I really value.
It's also great to see more developers and publishers embracing Photo Mode and regularly engaging with the virtual photography community. It makes this hobby even more rewarding.
On a personal note, life has been quite challenging lately. Between work, family, renovating a house, and a serious blow to my family, finding time for gaming has become increasingly difficult. Photo Mode is a passion that brings me a lot of joy, especially during times like these.
I'd love to spend more time creating photos, but lately, I haven't been entirely happy with the results myself. With so little time to play, I also want to enjoy the games themselves rather than always looking at them through a camera lens. Hopefully, I'll be able to dedicate more time to photography again in the future.
Until then, I'll keep working through my ever-growing pile of shame whenever I can, and I look forward to seeing more of your amazing shots here on X.
Thank you to everyone who's been part of these past three years. I'm glad I joined this community.
