For all of my contemporaries who are sorry they never got famous, it’s not too late. In fact, it’s easier than ever. All you need is a little creativity and some discipline.
Check out these dramatic photos my friend Russ Rowland created.
Now check out how Russ posts them on Instagram. He carefully hashtags (#) key words on each of his photos so other users who search the same categories, will see his images. It’s as simple as that.

Russ is determined to become a well-known photographer. Judging by his collection of photos, I say he has a good chance. Russ said artists no longer need galleries to get noticed. While everyone would love to be recognized by well-known gallerist, Instagram is much more available.
