It seems as though I hit periods where I don't find the joy in doing something that normally gives me joy. I was loving taking photos.  I would grab the kids and try everything and work real hard on my photos and then I became discouraged.  I took some photos that I thought were creative but actually they weren't creative because you couldn't tell what was happening in the photos.  I started second guessing my self and being very critical.  I could see everything that was wrong and nothing that was right.  I became frustrated.  I continued taking photos but I felt like I was going backwards.  Then these two beautiful young women asked if I could take some photos of them.  I still see everything that is wrong with my photos but I see what is right too.  It was so much fun to spend time with them and they made it so enjoyable that as I looked and adjusted my camera I could see that I was doing stuff right.  My focusing was better, my attitude was better.  I used my aperture better and I was excited when I got home to see the photos on a larger screen.  I am again excited about photos.  Thank you Sarah and Kat for helping me to be excited again.
