..Question, What If....

..there comes that point in life where you may think..where everything is heading to..the future is uncertain..with no real answer or solid pit to really defines what the future holds...I'm sitting here thinking "Is photography really what I want to do?

Doubt..and the fear of not doing my best.."what if they don't like my pictures..what if I don't meet their expectations...what if I don have enough good shots....what if I'm not that good..."Do I stop?"..."Do I give up?"...."WHAT IF"...rings in my mind....I feel like giving up at times..like at this very moment...seeing no real signs of hope and progress...but I strive forward and continue on...cause I really enjoy doing what I do.

I envy their many pictures...I see with the hope to one day shine like many wonderful...and professional artists...I guess I'm feeling hopeless at the moment...doubting my strength of what I can achieve...I'm just starting this journey of mine, and I feel like giving up already...lost..yes, but everything is overwhelming at times and  nothing comes out right the first time around, it takes practice and time. What they say is true.."you learn from your mistake the first time around..nothing is perfect"...

Guess I'm having one of those little doubtful moments ....I just want to do my best....I wonder if many of those great photographer feels like I do at times...................

It's not only photographers who question their path in life, EVERYONE does... You have a great eye for capturing life's precious moments so don't ever give up. Who likes to dwell on and wonder how far they could've gone? The only way to know your full potential is the hunger for what you love. One day, you'll look back at this blog and wonder why giving up even crossed your mind! Keep your head up, things will fall in place!!

P.S. When you love what you do, you never have to work!

Kris, you do fabulous work and I have all the faith that you're going to be great. I see two pictures from the ceremony on the "What If" and I can't wait to see all the wonderful moments you've captured. You have to continue to believe that what you do, brings joy to other people. Art is in the eye of the beholder, so you have to keep those who love your work, closest to heart and not let other people keep you down. Keep your head up and know that you're great. Love you...Betty
