Behind fears
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
As I mentioned previously, me pursuing photography has definitely had it's run of uncertainties and I have just flat out been nervous to give it my all and give myself to it. What if I'm not as good as I think I am? What if people think I am the worst photographer in the world? What if I only get clients by asking them, hey, uh can I take some photos of you? But, I heard another photgrapher say to "creat your own game;" if I create my own game, using my own pieces, I will not have to measure up to someone else and will always come up on top. This game is called mine. I have no option but to win. Plus, if I have God's blessing, I will do nothing but grow and be the best that I can . . . at the work of His hand.
Here is my game plan:
-Remember that I am doing this because I have a passion for it (despite of "bad shoots")
-Put myself "out there" and be daring . . .
-. . . but be willing to fail
-Remember my style and not change it for anyone.
-be myself and not be afraid of people not liking my technique. Those that like it, like it and those that don't, don't
-Listen to His voice and follow His lead.
So, here's what I have done. First of all, I've created a page on Facebook for people to "like" and keep in touch and hear updates about how things are going with this passion I am pursuing. Second, I have deleted my LeilaniNicole Photography blog; I want people to get to know the real me . . . not a censor for a blog about photography (after all, that's what my future website will be for). Third, I am just going to dive in; I am not going to hide behind my fears. I am going to chase after this as though I am certain God wants me here and I will give it my all. People don't grow hiding behind fears.

Am super proud of you! It's hard to believe in yourself, I know! But, it's crucial to making your dreams come true. You have real talent and you will do great (you are doing great). Those photographers that you admire all started somewhere...and you have done the absolute hardest part ... you started!!! Get it girl, get it.
