Getting over my fears as a Photographer

It's amazing how internal fear can keep one from achieving true success.  I never would've thought I would be the only one standing in the way of my own success as an artist because inside of me I know I am an artist.  One would think hearing that from all of their peers would be evidence enough but until you finally step back and give yourself a gut check one can never escape their own virtual prison.

So today my words express the rebirth of an artist, the artist that once knew he was different from all of the other kids in school through the use of his hands.  It's amazing what hands can create though, not just art but they can create everything from peace to war.  However, my hands were meant to create art and tonight that journey that was once envisioned by a young child without limits is being set into motion once and for all for the world to enjoy but most importantly for me to experience the joy it brings me.

The attached photo I think best expresses this rebirth, please join me on my adventure to living out the dream I started as child but suppressed as an adult who once lived in fear of being an artist.
