Me being me....cookies, beer & cameras



So I'm a little mad at myself right now. I don't know why I do this, but it's a viscous cycle that I can't get out of. I sit down at my computer and I google "the photographer" the one everyone is talking about.....the one who doesn't shoot like me. And here I sit, comparing myself to that person, and I think why don't I shoot like that? What's wrong with my work? Why doesn't my name sound that cool or my website look that bangin' ?? Sometimes it costs me a few nights sleep, sometimes it costs me a new lens or god forbid a new camera!

So I am going to stop it. I am going to love my work because it's mine. I'm going to be myself and stay true to me. I will not jump on some band wagon because this look is hot right now or buy some $2,000 action that I can't use in a year.

I am just going to be me. And this is the photography I like to shoot.
