Kaleidoscopic Art and Symmetry of The Patrika Gate, Jaipur

Hello everyone,

I took this photo 2 years ago but edited it last month. I liked the colours but the original photo (which i post in the comments) was very bad in terms of composition and angle. But i cropped it and adjusted the horizon and angle and i tried giving the Wes Anderson style vibe, i don't know if I achieved that or not. I still shared it. I shot it on a mid-range Android phone in RAW and edited it in Lightroom.

I’d really appreciate any critiques on the photo.

I also have a question I honestly don’t know whom to ask: is it possible to make money from photography starting with just a phone, without professional gear? I’m asking seriously, not ideally.

If the answer is no, then I may have to accept that. But if there is a realistic path, I need to understand it—because right now I can’t convince my parents that I’m good enough to invest in a camera for me. In my area, and in my family, people mostly believe only in government jobs. As far as they’re concerned, the only photographers who make money are wedding photographers.

If you have a moment, you can check my photos and give me honest advice—not dreamy encouragement, but a real assessment. Is there something worth pursuing here? Is there a practical path forward?

Thank you very much for your time.

Mueller Hut, New Zealand

Mueller Hut might be one of the most sought after hut in New Zealand. It's so busy over summer the hut is booked out for weeks on end. And that is not surprinsing seeing how incredible the terrain surrounding it is.

You have a front row seat of New Zealand's highest peak, Aoraki / Mt Cook!

You rang? 📞 Bombay Beach, California

Full Story Here

"Created by an irrigation accident in 1905, Salton Sea was California’s largest man-made lake. Today, the abandoned town may look apocalyptic to some, but to others, it’s an artist’s paradise. Located at the southern tip of California, Bombay Beach was once a vibrant community on the Salton Sea. The town’s golden era occurred through the 1950s-1960s, becoming a haven for fishing, boating, and lazy days for hard working Angelenos along with celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and even the Beach Boys frequenting resorts around that time."

"Without the cat, Istanbul would lose a part of its soul,” claim residents of this ancient metropolis. With a foot in both Asia and Europe, the city that shares two continents also shares its space with hundreds of thousands of four-legged felines."

Full Story Here

“Once a remote summer retreat for royals, Bulgaria’s Rila Mountains slowly transformed into a winter recreation haven, thanks to the advent of skiing as a global sport. By the 1930s, the alpine wonderland really took off, ultimately becoming one of Europe’s earliest ski resorts…though in the early days, obtaining skis was no easy feat.”
