thoughts on excuses, excuses, excuses!

when a session is over, i wrap everything up with a thank you card and a delivery of some sorts to the person i took pictures of. i should probably stop this. because the entire time i'm talking to them, i'm struggling to keep myself from ripping my work apart.

it's ridiculous how hard it is. the words are shouting themselves in my head, "TOO LITTLE LIGHT! MY EXPOSURE WAS BAD! PEOPLE KEPT WALKING INTO THE FRAME! THE EDIT IS HORRIBLE!"

my friend heather pointed out that i should act like i'm good. i should act like i know what i'm doing. especially since i do know. at least, i know more than she does.

the thought caused me to pause. SHE'S RIGHT. this photography thing? this is what i do. and it's not perfect. i'm still learning. but i know more than she does. and that's why i'm doing it. so i vowed then to stop making excuses. if i was going to do this photography thing, i was going to stand next to my work. without pointing out how out of focus it is.
