She isn’t very good at lying but I guess that’s a good thing.

I love spending time with other photographers. They like to have fun. They go to the beach in the middle of the night. They will set things on fire. They will spin things on fire and make crazy sparks. They will even stand still for 30 seconds while sparks are flying around them because you thought it might make an interesting photo.

I’ve been posting photos daily for a year and a half now. I started in January 2011 just for fun and just never stopped doing it. I’ve learned so much from the experience and really think it has pushed me and made me a stronger photographer. Lately, however, I feel like I’m hitting a wall. I look at my photos from just the last year and see improvement and growth but yet I know there is still a lot to learn and to get better at. I see photos that I’ve taken and know that they can be so much better and feel embarrassed and nervous to show them to anyone. Because I am more critical of my photos I’ve lost some of the unbridled enthusiasm and joy and innocence of sharing just a cool shot. Sometimes all I can see are the flaws. I see all these photos that are so beautiful and wonder if I can ever have the vision to achieve images with such creativity, excellence, and artistry.
I know myself and know that I can easily just turn into a hermit, withdraw from others and not share my work. However, this time I feel like this is a struggle I can push through, that the process of this struggle is what will hopefully give me more confidence in my work, and what will ultimately make me a better photographer.
