I was so wrong to think that artists were nobodies and that creating art was a waste of time. That all those times I had gone out and photographed my surroundings was a complete waste of time. How wrong was I to think like this... I was so wrong to this that way. The first section of this essay just really reminded me of my way of thinking during last year in the summer.
