Getting Nowhere

I just spoke with the people at Chianti's and they haven't put up my pictures yet, and they don't know if they will be able to. The don't have the space, she's going away, yada yada. How disappointing. This was the only place that I had going for me so far. So now what? Do I put this kind of thing on hold? Where do I go from here?

I love to take pictures, so that part I will not stop. Do I care if people see my pictures? Kind of. Do I care if I become rich and famous? No. So this isn't about money, more about the fact that I want to be good at something and be recognized as such. What a conundrum. And such a downer, really.

Inspiration is everywhere

I have learned my lesson - I went out the other day without my camera and totally kicked myself. So now I take it everywhere with me, just in case. I am going to go out again tomorrow and take some photo's and see what I come up with.

I did get some infinite wisdom from my sister - I told her about how I took almost 200 pictures and only got 14 usable shots. She reminded me that even in my pictures from Europe, only a few of those are usable. The difference was that I had so many that I had already taken that I could use - because I have been actively taking them for 5 years.

So thanks to her, I am less upset about the 14 pictures that I do have. Also, she mentioned that every time I go out, I learn something new. New angles that work, light that works, and a whole lot of stuff that doesn't work. It's just like anything else in my life, a work in progress.

So today I am thankful for my big sister who is always there to lead me the right way - just like sister's are supposed to do!
