No Experience Necessary...

Okay, maybe a little...but hey, you have to start somewhere right? So now, I am in that place right now. Yes, there is going to be a little butterfly floating around in my stomach because putting yourself out there just does that.

A little secret, it doesn't matter who you are, everyone is scared of rejection, and yes while you don't know some of the people who doesn't like your work, it still does get to you. I have been going two years in the shadows because of someone not liking my photo, and then a group of friends said the hell with the professional who said a stem was a little distracting and go for it anyways...so here is it in all it's glory...the first picture that made me stop in my pursuit of happiness...

The one time I submitted to the local fair, and this was one of the pictures...while I guess I could have photoshopped the stem out, I was actually going for a different view on a flower. I think it was a good picture and you know what...I like it! I don't know why I let her influence me the way she did, and I am glad that my friends helped me out of that funk! So thank you Lisa Brandel, Ryan Slayback and Mary Garwood! You guys are awesome!!

Okay...it is now out for the world to judge!

I know I haven't posted in a while...but was actually still blogging, just the old-fashioned pen and paper type right now! Started since the first and Janurary and haven't stopped yet! The picture of the tree outside of my yard hasn't changed either...just looks like a dead tree right now...wet, and kinda gloomy looking, so hopefully that changes in the next couple of months! Let's see what else...got a new position in my job! w00t! pay raise and all, so that is different!
Yes, I know why I wrote this one...so I am taking a chance right now on how people will look at my work...in progress as always, but still trying to make that step in my goals...if you don't know, I am sure there is a link somewhere on the page about my blog about goals! (shameless plug I know, I know!) Anyways, tell me what you think about these pictures, I am always open to constructive criticism...Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Those a just a few I have for right now...like I said...still a work in progess!! Happy Blogging People!
