Very true - it's such a waste of time to compare ourselves to others - in my first writing class (surrounded by truly talented writers) I reminded myself I was there to learn and get better because I enjoyed it. Period. I have to keep reminding myself of that.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074104063769255190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-76500984358952067152011-09-08T09:34:03.124-05:002011-09-08T09:34:03.124-05:00well, artist/photographer, i know what i like, and...well, artist/photographer, i know what i like, and i would absolutely frame every one of these photos and hang them in my house with pride...Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221703763145912238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-40557762279724370222011-09-07T22:49:11.147-05:002011-09-07T22:49:11.147-05:00you SO rock!

Your work always dazzles me with its honesty, it's beauty, its mystical feel or its down to earth perfection. You ARE a photographer. Start believing.

I know I feel inadequate when I start to compare myself with the talented photographers and writers that I follow online...It is interesting to see that so many that I admire feel the same way about themselves! I think I will just continue to try and take photos because I am having fun and to follow all my favorite places because I still need inspiration. <br /><br />You ARE an artist and a photographer for sure!GailOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556665956317683667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-33200546911687674772011-09-06T14:32:32.847-05:002011-09-06T14:32:32.847-05:00I wondering if you sell prints of that one photo o...I wondering if you sell prints of that one photo of the leaves that look like hearts?

I have "known" you for a little more than a year (has it been two?) and I have seen you grow and blossom and bloom. You made my blog header with plenty of back-and-forthing for no charge, and also with plenty of understanding and sympatico. It is a joy to follow how you grow and I will say that it is only in the last year or so that I have said proudly that I, too am an artist. Without the qualifying or coughing. Or at least less of that. It's a process, as is your life, and it is all wonderful.The Bodhi Chicklethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287125977780580043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-17086971976175799552011-09-05T14:23:51.983-05:002011-09-05T14:23:51.983-05:00I feel like that all the time but gosh, you should...I feel like that all the time but gosh, you shouldn't!!!
