I feel like I am always in a constant battle to be a better photographer. Every time I shoot I try and incorporate something new that I have recently learned. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes I feel like I actually took a step back. It is a constant push pull. And I'm not gonna lie, it is frustrating as hell. I look around me, the digital age has completely revolutionized photography. It is no longer the skill that it once was. Realistically, despite what the gear-heads will say. Anyone with a basic camera and a decent eye can do what it used to take years and years of experience and big time and money invested into gear. And seeing that first hand is kind of depressing.
I don't want to lag on such a depressing subject though. As I can see growth in my work over the past year, and huge leaps and bounds over when I first started. It's just frustrating where on one hand I feel limited by the gear I have, and on the other know that there are people doing more with less. Sucks for them tho, as it's just fueling my fire to learn.
