on the edge

I'm still feeling quite miserable today and to make matters worse, I don't seem to have any work to do this afternoon. So, this day is draaaaaaaging. I'm trying to take advantage of the downtime and play around with some of my photos. I have a few photo projects floating around in my head and hopefully I'll be brave enough to actually go through with some of them in the coming months. We shall see.

In the meantime, here are some examples:


Truth is, I would really like to see if I could sell some of my work. There are a couple of things holding me back though. Is it really good and how do I go about doing it? Sometimes I think some of my work is pretty good and then days later I look back and think "good lord that sucks!". I need to get over that and just jump in with both feet and see what happens.

However, that's a very scary step. I mean, I went to school for photography and the reason I didn't shoot anything for about 3 years after I graduated was because of the hellish critiques I would get. There was one professor who actually said that maybe photography wasn't for me. It crushed me, for a LONG time. The last thing you want to hear from a professor is that they don't believe you have what it takes.

Anyway, that's where I am right now. Teetering on the edge, not sure of whether I'm brave enough to jump.
