Brick Wall..

Ok so I promised myself that I would:

1. Try to blog a few times a week
2. Cruise around and check out some spots
3. Sleep by 10 pm
4. Have a one week turn around time on editing.
5. Not fall asleep at my computer
6. Try NOT to drive my husband nuts by talking about photos, lighting, exposure, color
7. Try NOT to drive my kids crazy talking about photos, lighting, exposure, color, etc..

Lets see.. so far..

How many have I accomplished: 0
How many I would love to accomplish: 7

When I started down this path late June.. I knew it would be a challenge, but I honestly didn't think it would be this hard. But I love a challenge, so that is a huge plus for me. Downside of that is.. is knowing that I need to ask people for help.. GIGANTIC problem for me. I love helping others. Asking for it myself.. lol.. maybe I should make that #8. I have tried to break down that barrier by asking other photographers questions that I try to answer myself first.. usually takes me hours to figure out.. but hey, I did it :).

Right now I'm at a good place.. Creative juices are flowing through my head that need to come out and hopefully will come out soon! I bought a notebook today (that I should've had to begin with) to jot down all that comes to me.. whether it be big or small and see where it takes me.

I guess I would say that the hardest part for me is to be satisfied with what I've done. I constantly tell my kids to not compare themselves to others, be yourself.. be YOU and challenge yourself to do better and become a better person. Yet here I am, not even following my own advice. I compare myself to other photographers and their work, and want to be like them and want my photos to look like theirs and wonder how they did it. Drives me nuts!! But it's something that I need to work on... I'll make that #9! Am I rambling?? Most likely.. but just some thoughts that have been rolling around through my head.. along with the rest of the other ideas that need to be put on paper.

I have a few shoots that I need to post.. but I am goin to bed early tonight. 11:30 pm is WAY early for me.. Have a good night!
