I finally did it. I made a little logo/watermark thingy for my photos.
I didn't do it for a long time because I felt silly. . . like I was pretending to be a real photographer.
So it's kind of a big step for me to say to myself and to the world, "I AM a real photographer."
No, I don't have a business. I'm just a gal with a camera who wants to create great art. . . even if I'm not quite there yet.
Here's a quick video that I've watched about a gazillion times. The guy in the video totally gets me.
I'm taking his words to heart and trying to do a huge volume of work. Lots of shooting and lots of editing with a class or two thrown in for good measure. I hope that in a couple of years, I'll look back and really be proud of how far I've come.
I had a camera for years, but I took my first class this past year at age 51, so I figure it's never too late to start.
What about you?
Is there a dream your heart wants to pursue?
Be proud! You have already come so far. I love that video because it is so true. You can have anything you are willing to work for, and it seems you already have the fire in the belly, so you'll just keep growing. It's a journey not a destination.
