It seems like I am always trying to somehow prove my self. My value or worth. I have it in my mind that if I can win some photo contests somehow that will mean that I am a good photographer. Somehow I always doubt my ability. I was the high school newspaper photographer and thought maybe I would major in photo journalism but I really didn't have the right camera equipment and the competition was pretty tough. I had children and a career and just didn't have the time to spend taking pictures except of course for the pictures of my great kids, family vacations etc. I bought a canon camera and then eventually bought a 100-400 zoom lens and a most recent buy a fish eye lens. These are the contests that I have won so far.
