Appreciate Youself a Bit More

Last year, Adam joined a local photography club and asked me to tag along. We were in it to learn and be more exposed to photography. We made friends, and did learn at the start. But eventually, I was feeling a bit down. And my reason is a bit 'girly' to others...or juvenile to most. I did not feel that my work was being appreciated. Also, I felt sad that the group forum wasn't as active about photography like before. Most things I saw there made no sense to me. No offense to the people there. I just wanted an environment where I can learn...not somewhere I see one liners which aren't even photography related. So I stopped checking the forum out. My husband was, and still is very patient with these things.

Then I felt insecure about the things I created because I did not feel appreciated...but I realized that if I believe in myself I would eventually gain the confidence I need to get back on track.

I haven't really given up hope, so I still try to post from time to time. Sadly, the group has been saturated...I don't even know the new members since the number grew so big. I was also pregnant, hence I did not have any photo to contribute...I hibernated. Now, I get to make photos again...and I am still hoping to find somewhere I can belong.

Saturday Afternoon

I haven't been taking pictures nor post processing for a long time since I had my daughter. My husband has been itching to shoot for months now. So we decided to set a shoot with our friend Gian. The model is Adam's friend. I was looking for some inspiration on the internet and did come across a few. I know my picture is composed in a weird way...but I am not going to saythat it is for art's sake. It's just the way l see things. And it's beautiful to me.
