New Year = New Challenges + New Fears

A New Year approaches and with it, I found my self totally overwhelmed by this amazing world that the photography business is. 2011 it's been a year of a lot of learning. I took (finally! AND with the BIG push of my hubby!) to dedicate all my time to my own business. I stopped working part-time at Disney World and immerse myself into Sharma Shari Photography.This year I assisted in my first conference as a professional photographer, WPPI U. I decided for this one because it was kind of comfort zone. I knew the city, I stayed at my friend's house, I was in my territory. Still, I felt like everybody else had everything figure it out. I hadn't even decided how to redo my website. And I started to compare myself, my work, my equipment, everything! ..I left the conference feeling excited about all the new things I learned, the people I met. But utterly overwhelm by the amount of it, all at once.A couple of months have passed, and the feeling is still present...it is angry because I've been ignoring it for a while. I plan to continue to do so. This dream is taking shape, one step at a time but it is taking form. And it is scary...but it is scarier not to continue.

Happy Sunday!
