self portrait challenge - resolution

take pictures every day. 

every time I peel the negative off the print I am overwhelmed with dread. a daunting, pervasive fear of disappointment that is inhibiting my desire to be more creative, to experiment, to just be. yet I am now ready to give myself the space to grope for the light, to stumble, bump into walls and step on sharp edges. so that I can learn. be surprised. and not afraid of trying. again, and again. and again.

Great camera. Great photo. (One of my dreams for the year is to get a decent camera.)

I love this photo of you and I can stand to learn from your words here......whatever comes out is good, perfection is not necessary. So when I'm ready to rip the pages from my journal, not happy with my creation, I'll stop and pause.

Beautiful photo Irene. I guess it's only when you allow yourself to be imperfect, you will start to see the beauty in what you do.
