still life
Friday, August 03, 2007Labels: about me
Yesterday was one of those days where I doubted every ability I have. I went through the whole, "I can't believe I actually charge people to take pictures of them...I should be paying them for my work". I don't know what happens that triggers something like that. Once it hits it just feels so overwhelming.
Josh gave me a pep talk and told me to stop being a "negative nancy". I'm not really sure what I would do without him. He doesn't just say "Kimberly, snap out of it. You're a good photographer". He also says, "Okay. Is their anything we can do to make you feel more confident. What is it exactly about your work that you think isn't very good?".
I'm feeling alright today but frustrated with myself. I don't like it that I get like that. I mean, what do I expect from myself? I picked up an SLR camera only just two years ago. I'm not going to be winning awards right off the bat. Most days I feel like I need to work more on myself than my photography.

What is it that makes us think we have to be Uber successful ASAP?
I know this and tell myself this...and yet I still think I need to achieve greatness by...tomorrow. : )
It will pass...it always does, right? : ) From what I've seen though, you rock as a photographer!! And people should DEF. pay you for your work. : )
You have the talent, yes, but more importantly, you have the fire in you that will always make you great.
