My whole life, I have felt like I wasn't talented. If you grew up with my sister, you would too. She was amazing at everything she touched and most of the time I felt like, if I couldn't be amazing right from the start, then there was no reason for me to try at all.
Sometimes when I look at other people's photography I get discouraged. There are so many amazing photographers out there and I don't feel like I will ever be able to get to that.
But then I see that they have been taking photos and working at it for years and years and decades and decades! That makes me feel better. I really hope that someday, I can feel like I really am Talented.
My goal for 2011 is to stop being so hard on myself. I am going to give myself a break this year. Work on not being so critical of myself and others.
I have one other goal. Practice. Practice is what made all of the people I admire photographically great and so that is what I'm going to do. For 2011, I'm going to try and take a picture every day. I'm deciding how I am going to present these to you. I will have to work on that.
I have a black and white analog class this semester that I'm very excited about. It starts tomorrow and I can hardly wait! It is bound to be awesome. I'm sure 2011 is going to be a great year so thanks for sticking with me so far!
