Photography has opened my mind about art. As a child I was very shy and could not draw nor did I have good penmanship; so this hindered me from exploring the many different art genres for fear of failure. One fall day I stumble across a camera store and thought I could try out a new hobby. I never thought it would change my life.
Today, photography has taught me to never worry about what others think; a person has to be satisfied with their own creations and actions. As long as it is "decent and in order". At this point in my life, I only strive to please one; if he is pleased, then I will be blessed.
