Obstacles and Fear

yada, yada yada....obstacles and fear...two of my least favorite things to talk about.  however, it is a new year and dangit i need to just get over that crap.  i know this is a photography blog but there are obstacles in this profession that scare the hell out of me.  yeah, totally!!!  so, regardless if you wanna or not i'm draggin' this blog and whomever reads this along with me on this so-called journey.  truth...technology freaks me out...but i figured that going at it one day at a time is better than taking on the whole enchilada!!  in a year or so i have purchased a new camera, a new computer, a program that is so overwhelming and a new found respect for the patience that i soooo lack!!  all of these obstacles have forced me to slow down a bit although i am a product of the "i want it now" generation.  but, slowing down a bit with all this new techo stuff is actually teaching me patience.  who knew??  now i am by no means saying i have conquered any of this.  i am taking it one day at a time.  photoshop wins more battles than i wish to speak about but i will get the hang of it soon...i hope!  my macbook pro and i are finally figuring out our relationship status.  my nikon and i are a work in progress.  thats life.  and apart from it all, its a challenge and one that i welcome.  :)
