This is why I always disliked photography and stuck with doing video instead. Just couldn’t get into the whole creation of a really great photo. Way harder than people know, especially nature photography.
Also since I know I mentioned it last time, gonna link a shot my friend got of one of those Scrub Jays. I’m positive she has many failed photos of them and their surroundings as well!
So cool for you to show the failures. But there are lessons learned from each one of those mistakes, so I wouldn't consider them complete failures. It does make me feel better about my photography, though. 😀I’m glad it doesn't just happen to me.
It's always useful to be reminded how much repetition and practice is required to produce great work, and it applies equally of course to writing. Though the use of the word incompetence seems a bit harsh to describe yourself. Incompetence would be not being able to tell the difference between a photo worth sharing and one that should be shelved. You're always curating high quality work for us, and in my books that makes you a pro.
Well, I'm glad you don't think I'm incompetent. I certainly felt so when I failed to nail those two shots. The fact that you believe in me makes me very happy :)

Dude, let me just tell you—your videography work is awesome. I mean, you won an emmy for god's sake. I've looked at your website A LOT!
Thanks for the link to your friend's shot. Looks pretty good :)

Thanks Randy! Mistakes are just stepping stones to success. They're all part of the journey. Glad you feel better about your craft!
I LOVE that you're playing with using your photos for slides! They're too beautiful not to use for all the things.
Thank you Sandra! Very kind of you :)

Awww thanks Rick! You said it.
