please bear with my confused brain.

okay okay okay.

i'm really flaky.
in the aspect that i decide things then change my mind.
ALL. THE. TIME.

~

my name is sarah, and i am addicted to photography.

~

after i decided to "quit" and just do it as a hobby, i felt uneasy, apprehensive, and nauseous.
when i think about doing other things as a profession, i feel even more like i'm going to lose my lunch.
it seems photos literally call my name.
"sarah, give me life."

i continued to look at photos and think, "what do i like about this photo? how can i recreate it in my own way for my own clients?"
then i'd lie to myself, saying, "oh wait, i'm not doing photography as a job anymore."
~
just now i was perusing the inter-web and came across these lovely photographers:
i fell in love with the film-y feel of their photos
and found their online photography workshop:

i caught myself thinking "I NEED TO SIGN-UP FOR THIS!!"
then, remembering my decision, my eyes filled with tears.

this quote has kept coming to my mind all day.

why waste what God has given me?
i may not be the best at photography, but there's time to grow and improve.
patience just has to play a big part in this.

~

my final thoughts on the matter, is that i need to really put myself into my photos and find my niche in it.
and this is my wake up call to work even harder and do the best i can.

~

i ask you all to please bear with me
as i sort this all out.
and wish me a big ol' "good luck!"

until next time,
sarah
