ups and downs





sometimes i chug along within my work thinking i am making good progress. really liking what i am producing. things happen i get some recognition, small jobs, it seems like progress .... mmmm not so much.
today i step back. i have questions. i can not let outside opinions influence my confidence. i don't want to give up. i fear the rejects. but also welcome it. i think people underestimate me, always have. this time I will not underestimate myself.
my eyes are wide open to the wrong paths.

keep on shooting, both the right or wrong paths!

Just like anything else in life your photography and your career will get sharper as you push through those "mistakes" or "wrong paths". We often learn more from those mistakes than from our successes.

If "you" love your work it is always defensible - no matter how others may view it. If every piece you show you absolutely adore then no opinion matters.

Stark, crisp and vibrant work - keep it up!
