Hardly anyone is a natural at anything. It's hard when you're smart and a quick study to come to terms with the fact that some things take more than knowledge to master. The one thing that keeps me going in the areas I so badly want to be good at but currently suck at is the "10,000 hours" rule that says it takes that long to master any given skill. Keep snapping those pictures. And please, please, don't stop blogging.

Look around to see what you like of others' photography and ask yourself WHY you like it. Then keep at it some more keeping in mind WHAT you like, but without imitating. (Inspiration =/= imitation) Then shoot some more. I've recently struggled with this and I found the key was to stop trying so hard and just SHOOT. Freshen up on the basics. If you shoot a lot, there will likely be some gems admist the crap. Get a crappier camera. Practice with low-fi. Practice with film where you HAVE to make every shot count for awhile. Don't shoot how you think you're supposed to shoot. And remember that some people are actually skilled photo EDITORS and crappy photographers so don't judge yourself by them. (TRUTH.)

There are days when the last place I want to be is my kitchen. Well, except long enough to grab the Chinese takeout menu. :-p Even if you have a strong passion for something (for me, cooking), it comes and goes.

I mean, I enjoy my work and my blogging and photography, but I wouldn't call any of those things my passion, because I probably will up and quit them for something new at some point.
