### Importance of community... ##### @Shadowspub said it best “it’s all about community” I feel like I still haven’t really found a group on steemit that *relates-to* a majority of what I’m posting about. I mean, I’m **out-there** with some of this developing shit. However, I’ve learned the importance in sharing. Sharing in shows like [Creative Coffee Hour](https://discord.gg/WQmnpBX), #PYPT and others I haven’t discovered, or tuned-in to yet. A good place to start @ramblingradio page. I’m not sure why it is, but I’m more shy online than in person. Whether *pimping my post* or just sharing some wierd photography techniques I’m trying, it has been a process of growth for me. Sharing my work hasn’t been easy. After all, I don’t share my *best*, I share what I produced the week before. What I *have* learned is, if you put in the work, the community has your back. ...So, yeah, I’m stoked! **Spread some positivity. Go hug a human. Or a tree, idgaf.** https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW3MbtqwVdRKyK3tFuHunEkZ6o8FvNbJgjK5tmad8QMR1/IMG_7126.png _{...and tell me about the film you used.}

### Hey, my name is Tang. 👋 Most people know me for being a bus dweller - I converted a school bus into a custom RV, but I’m also a film photographer, dreadlocked Legolas, and a dad to a dog named Hobo. Right now, I'm experimenting with vintage cameras and expired film, learning how to mountain bike, and sharing my adventures along the way. **First time on my blog? Say hi below.**
