I have read countless amounts of blogs, article after article on this issue. Even with the knowledge that many struggle with this, I still can not shake the feeling. I am feeling discouraged. I am feeling as if my work is inadequate. I am feeling resentment toward my camera. I am hating the feelings that are filling up my mind but I can’t help it. 

I have read that it is good to find inspiration and your own “voice” within. I have been trying, and I have been working on what I want my images to portray. But right now, I look at them and feel no emotion, no pride. Nothing. 

I am not enjoying the thought that my work will go nowhere. That I will be amongst many wanna be photographers that fail within the 3 year mark. I’m not even at the first year mark. Boo. 

I need to re-evaluate. I follow a good 30 photography blogs. I am feeling that I need to sift through them. Step back, and figure out if the blog makes me feel good about myself or if it makes me feel inadequate. There is one blog, her work is absolutely amazing. Breathtaking actually. & as much as I love filling my brain of photos page after page after page. It’s making me look at my work thinking, “why doesn’t mine look that way?” 

I stumbled upon this wonderful little quote on pinterest today and it spoke to me in more ways then one.
