I did group activities like baton corp. Things that, if there was failure, I could not be directly blamed for.
I have no idea why I was this way. My parents certainly didn't foster that attitude. It just is what it is.
It wasn't until high school that I joined in a couple of activities, with a little (OK a lot) of pushing from my friends) that I really could "mess up" on my own. Writing for the school newspaper and drama club. Back then, I didn't think I was very good at either, but it brought me out of my shell so that is what counts. I would be so nervous before a play that I would make myself sick. Afraid I'd blow my lines or miss a cue.
Over the years I've gotten better and started sticking my neck out there a little more. Doing the photography thing for me has really brought this up for me again. I am so worried that people won't like their pictures. I'm working on letting that go.

Shel, people WILL love your pictures, because they are gorgeous! You are such a source of inspiration to me, because you are doing what I want to do- and you are doing it well.
It is just going to be a matter of time before I follow your lead (hopefully.)
Photography is something you CAN do with confidence!
Thank you, Ash!
