Re: Where were you? (part four)

I enjoy helping out clients when they need a photo, but not sure I'm cut
out for photography for enjoyment, especially around here.

Don't sweat it then, Linda. Take pics of what you *do* like and feel comfortable doing. Family, friends, pets, etc.---and helping your clients out in a pinch. Nothing wrong with all that. If from that, you grow to like it more, fine. If not, that's fine too.

Your main forte, as I understand, is as a designer/web designer. Also, if my memory serves me correctly, you've mentioned on more than one occasion that you've had chance of doing photo on a professional basis, but had to turn it over to a colleague of your's because you didn't feel up to what was required. Good for you, I think that's to be commended rather than shamed. It's good to know one's limitations, especially when performing a service for someone else's money.

There are "professionals" out there from plumbers to surgeons, who will perform something beyond their purview just because they think they can. Not a good thing. I don't want a dentist taking out my gall bladder just because he's seen it done and *thinks* he can do it. 8o

Anyway, I guess my point is, do what you like and can when you can...erm...and like. :/ Nothing wrong with know one's limitations. The problem is more with those who don't know *their* own.

So, take what you can here and from your photo guild and use it or edit it. Hope this made some sense. %(

Gotta run. Got some leftover Italian beef heating on the stove waiting to be nestled in a nice French roll. Have to post a picture of an elephant, too. :)
