A Picture's Higher Purpose

[femisenjobi]

I love taking pictures. But unfortunately, there'll always be better ones that will win our hearts.They get stored away, some of them never to be seen again. But all thanks to the Local Guides Initiative I can now do more. Enjoy the pictures and share with billions of Google users across the world.

Pictures, they say speaks a thousand words. That's so true. They have been able to help capture the things that a few worded reviews or ratings cannot capture about places that I visit. Truth is, it's even fun when we let people see these places and draw their own conclusions and ratings.

Yes @femisenjobi

Attractive pictures posted here.

I would suggest you to add briefing that will help others to be familiar with the areas of your interests.

So you are 

welcome to the Local Guides Connect community!

Connect is a place to get to know other Local Guides, plan activities, share your stories, give feedback and more. While moderators are around to help point you in the right direction and answer your questions, chances are a fellow Local Guide will be able to help too 🙂

Here are a few tips for using the community:

• Search the community before posting a question. Chances are someone else has had the same issue or suggestion. It makes it easier on everyone if we unify conversations and avoid duplicates.
• Share posts that are relevant to Google Maps, Local Guides and exploring your world. 
• Use a descriptive title for your post. Make it easy for everyone to see what it is you want to talk about. Make sure your post is in the right section of the community as well.
• The "Location" field on your post should only be used when talking about a specific place - not for where you are from on every post. If you want travel advice for Tokyo, tag Tokyo. If you are recommending a museum in London, tag the museum.
• Be kind, patient, and understanding.Help us make Local Guides Connect a friendly and helpful place to be.
• Respect the moderators and each other. Local Guides is a global community comprised of many different languages, timezones, ages, and levels of expertise. Everyone is welcome. Moderators may remove or move posts, warn or ban community members, or even make mistakes. Assume everyone has good intentions and follow Local Guides Program Rules.  
• Protect the privacy of yourself and others. Don't post personal information (your's or other's) publicly. There is a private messaging system in place which you can disable if you don't want others to be able to contact you.
• Use good judgement. You can find a lot of wonderful advice and tips in this community, but some of it may be wrong or incorrect. When in doubt, check an official Google authoritative source like a product Help Center.
• Don't use this community as a platform to sell your products, services, or rental properties on the moon.
• Have fun! Give out kudos for great content, mark replies as "Accept Solutions" if your question was answered. It helps others find great content and highlights the most helpful Local Guides 🙂

 Posting on "Photography" board

• Photography board is to share your knowledge or learn how to improve your photography techniques and become a better photographer

• Share your personal photos and stories of places that highlight the beauty in your city with Local Guides around the world to 'Share Your Photos & Discoveries."

You can also connect with Google+, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube!

Hi @femisenjobi,

I also believe in the higher purpose of photography. There is always a deeper story and meaning behind a photo, a painting or anything related to visual communication really. 

Here, on Connect, we are happy to learn about the stories of the places you take photos of. Tell us about your photographed discoveries. We will be happy to read about them. You might find useful this article in order to have your posts as detailed and engaging as possible.
