I USED to be scared to move out on my own. Years
ago I became discouraged and gave up photography
when it seemed that I had nothing to say - nothing
to add to those who came before me.  Everything had
been done so many times before.  And usually better
than I was capable of.

Digital photography re-invigorated my intertest.
I'm still not sure I have anything "new" to add to
the art of photography - others will have to be the
judge of that.  I'm too busy enjoying myself.

Achieving an original vision remains a difficult and
elusive goal for most of us; relax and do what comes
naturally.  At least the fright goes away.
