Grab Shots - Believing in Yourself

7/22/2013

Welcome to Grab Shots - Just like grab shots in photography these will be just as random. It's a series of random thoughts about the photographic industry, people in general, business and life. I'm going to keep them short and do my best to "plant a few seeds".

Uncle Harry isn't your competition if you're truly thinking like a professional photographer. If you want to know who your competition really is, it's the face looking back at you in the mirror each morning, You've got more creative tools at your disposal than at any time in the history of photography, but you have to use them. You have to believe in yourself!

“If you can’t believe in miracles, then believe in yourself. When you want something bad enough, let that drive push you to make it happen. Sometimes you’ll run into brick walls that are put there to test you. Find a way around them and stay focused on your dream. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Isabel Lopez
