So, I stumbled upon a really cool post over at the Totally Rad blog by Cathy Empey. A particlar passage really struck me since it is exactly the way I feel about my own photographic journey…and since I suck at putting thoughts into words, I thought I would share Cathy’s words with all of you..
In talking about finding and improving your style, she writes:
“I have come into my own; as I am sure many photographers do when they put their heart and soul into finding their focus. Some days I lack confidence, and that lets me know that its time to take it to another level. Although I feel as though I have found my style, I keep searching and improving. I feel as though you are only as good as your last session, and I strive to do my absolute best for every single client.”
Heart and soul. That really struck me…because without passion, what is the point of doing it? Always working to be the best, striving to be better than the last time, and always working on taking things to another level are qualities I truly admire and try to cultivate in my life.
Anyway, just a little mid-morning inspiration. Read the rest of the post here.
Thanks for sending on the encouragement. Without the passion for something, I can never get past the first hurdles and problems that come in mastering any field.
