Parenting

I took some photos of a friend's child the other day. I'm very proud of the product that came out of it. One especially to the point where I'd like to submit it to a parenting magazine. I don't know how to do this however. I e-mailed someone from a parenting magazine and I haven't heard back from them yet. But here's the picture among a few others: 

Struggles

I guess every artist goes through struggles, whether they like their own work or not. I talked to a couple people today, they both made me feel a lot better about it. I was ready to quit and sell everything. But I'm glad I didn't, I could never give up photography. 

Ugh

Seriously, I keep looking back at my photos and each time I look at them, the ones I used to like, I think to myself how did I ever like these? They're horrible... I feel like I was just a stupid pretend photographer in the past and I feel like I still am. I'm really not happy with my photos and sometimes, honestly, I feel like I should just give it up. I don't know, I still love photography but I feel like I suck at it. 

Here's a photo I took today; rip it apart.
