Here are some photos I took with my 35mm and a borrowed 300mm this past Thanksgiving weekend. I'm trying to put skills learned at school into practice, but it's still difficult. I need to be confident in what I do. Sometimes I think, "Eh, I'm not a professional photographer." So I don't know if I should step out and take pictures. I get nervous and insecure about what my role is as a student photographer. I hesitate and instead of taking a step forward, I remain where I am.

Hesitation = missed opportunities.

It's a process.  

Life is always a process.
