"I'm not a technical photographer"
"My camera isn't good enough"
"I don't know how to shoot with flash"
and finally,
"Maybe I'm just not good enough."
I remember buying way too much film because I KNEW that I needed to take way too many shots to get one that I as happy with.
I remember trying to leave the lab without anyone seeing me because I was embarrassed at the quality of my photos.
It was time to face the truth -
Nothing was going to change until I actually LEARNED the basics.
It's time to learn your craft. It's time to get off the hamster wheel of buying more and more gear and more and more film and hoping that it fixes your problems.
