Being new to this wonderful community of artists of all kinds, my first reaction is to take in everything I can and learn from others, and to post at least one photo each day. Already, I have begun to be too critical of my own submissions. I see compositions I only dream of creating, from places I can only dream of going. I want to give up, but I have to remind myself that beauty is all around us, even in our own back yard, and creativity knows no limits. We all want to make something beautiful or say something important. We have to keep trying.
