If you are taking...Andrea, ditto all of the above. <br />If you are taking all of these beautiful photos for other people that may or may not care, then why do it. God blessed you with a talent, did he mean for you to take pictures of other people? Maybe not. But to give up because cyber world doesn't acknowledge you the way it does others would be a huge waste of a wonderful gift.<br />Give yourself a little more time with the meds, take care of yourself, love yourself. <br />Maybe see if you can take some classes when Max is in school. <br />If you find yourself in Need of help...give a yell, we'll find a way. Life can be so overwhelming when you feel like you don't have a purpose.<br />One more thing, not many people admit to the bad in their lives, only the good. Just like we only post the decent looking photos of ourselves.<br />Keep those photos coming!!<br />;-D<br />(geez, I sound like a mom)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158552293122204249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363515535181952268.post-22155506128369532932012-10-04T02:06:24.063-07:002012-10-04T02:06:24.063-07:00Uh, did I write this post? How did you get into my...Uh, did I write this post? How did you get into my brain? I have never seen a bad photograph on this blog. Forget the family and friends that aren't asking you to take their pic. Photograph all that brings you joy. <br /><br />As far as FB...get off! It's all noise and chatter, anyways. My husband is administering my blog page for me on the FB, so friends and family can get keep up if they want. But I no longer need to validate my day or share how I feel in 150 words or less. Which is why I love blogger. You can get deeper and some people will get it.<br /><br />As far as my blog...it's random, it's chaotic, it's on trend with my personality and what I want to explore du jour. I'm sure I might lose some people with my recent fashion posts. But those that have known me since, forever, know that I'm a bit of a fashionista and I'm not afraid to show it. I'm doing it, mostly, because I want to feel closer to my mom and my BFF back in Florida that I miss to pieces. So, it's less about the fashion and more about the relationship between the two of them. We'll actually talk about it when they call.<br /><br />Are you still reading this? I'm sorry, if I've rambled. But everything you said, I have said to myself and outloud to my husband. Don't doubt your talent. You have a beautiful approach to your photography. I would hate to see you miss out on your little moments. You have an awesome collection of memories.Liza B.

There are only a few photographers out there in the world where people are knocking down their doors to hire them. The rest of us spin our wheels to be busy...or just to look like we're busy. :)penandviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610527059314002802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363515535181952268.post-45632213326284981522012-10-03T10:39:25.673-07:002012-10-03T10:39:25.673-07:00Hugs :)Hugs :)Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093788147775626648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363515535181952268.post-17451132419241694242012-10-02T13:54:44.384-07:002012-10-02T13:54:44.384-07:00Get back to your root of taking photos. It's ... Get back to your root of taking photos. It's not to take photos of other people, is it? It's to document your beautiful life, which you do so beautifully. Don't be too hard on yourself, Andrea. If it's supposed to come, it will. Maybe God has a different plan for your photography in this phase of your life.<br /><br />Yes on the friends comment. It is never easy. I've dealt with what you are talking about several times. I've found that the real and true friends stick around.<br /><br />I think you should go out and get involved in something, A. Find a Bible study in your church...maybe a BSF group like Michelle does. I know it can be scary to get out there and get involved, I'm learning this, too.<br /><br />I appreciate your honesty, A. People are reading, regardless of what you have to say. I went to a women's conference this weekend and there was a message I really think you should hear that would relate to a lot of this stuff. I'll send you the link when they put it online.<br /><br />Praying for you.staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691383741205469117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363515535181952268.post-68481226598862602982012-10-02T08:21:13.261-07:002012-10-02T08:21:13.261-07:00I don't have any real wisdom for you but I wil...I don't have any real wisdom for you but I will say to you very honestly that your photography is beautiful. Truly. And while I worked in the photography business for 6 years I had close friends and family never ask me to photograph them either. I learned that it's usually nothing personal. They may have issues with their weight or getting organized enough to get their stuff together and schedule some pics... whatever. Generally we make stuff way more about US than it is. Usually other people do stuff because THEY have their own issues/stuff going on. That's what I've learned about photography. <br /><br />I also get you on the "what's the point" of social media stuff. I had an IG acct forever but never really used it (and probably still wouldn't) if I wasn't doing Project Life and printing those photos. I feel you on this. :)<br /><br />Hope you have a better week ahead of you and are less tired as you get used to the new medication. :)Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420076698321444292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363515535181952268.post-76680507763627581702012-10-02T08:04:33.418-07:002012-10-02T08:04:33.418-07:00sounds like you are having a tough week. hang in t...sounds like you are having a tough week. hang in there, andrea!Heather M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00677676150861748802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363515535181952268.post-33261874079863454382012-10-01T21:20:54.389-07:002012-10-01T21:20:54.389-07:00Well, I'd take you up on a portrait offer in a...Well, I'd take you up on a portrait offer in a heartbeat! I love your photographs. <br /><br />But I get it. I have days/weeks like that, too. Nothing feels right and no one can make it better.
