Bokeh Wednesday Blues

I dunno. Somehow, I always feel so happy with my Bokeh Wednesday offerings. Then, as I compare my shit with other people's art... I get quite discouraged.

I am not particularly given to insecurity, although I am. I think any confidence I seem to possess is illusionary, the result of years of acting experience as a youth. I can fake it amazingly. I fake it until I make it, kinda.

When in a moment when it matters, I revert to insecurity. And it matters when I look at photography. I want to be good, to make art. But I don't have a photographer's eye. That is a Gift, and I haven't been given it.

All I can do is muster some skill, which one can acquire through study and practice. But that isn't art.

In the end, I love Bokeh Wednesday but wind up feeling dejected and not up-to-snuff.
