I have hit a wall creatively, but I believe it is more my fear of doing work people won't like than my own lack of creativity and ideas. In my head, when thinking about things I want to create, I worry a whole lot about the "will 'they' like it". Its ironic that those people I admire DON'T do that. You would think I would pick up on that, and not fall into that trap. Obviously (to those that know me, sooo no one on here haha) this is all because of my total and utter lack of self esteem and self belief. If I never stop with that bullshit, I will never be "good" (I truly do think I am a pretty good photographer, I just think I could be WAY more than that). I had the same issue with my drawing and painting. Come up with idea, giv up on it because I think no one else will like it. Who cares who likes it? All that matters is me, I am creating it for me, or at least I should be.

I needed to get that out.

David, you took my advice right out of my mouth! Dali wasn't really appreciated for his surrealistic art until after his death. However, he was painting for him, not for anyone else. When he did make commissions, they were for portraits and other crap he didn't enjoy painting. Photograph what makes YOU happy and what inspires YOU! The rest will come in time. In my experience, there almost certainly a group of people that will enjoy your work, you've just gotta put it out there. smile Good luck bud, I know it can be hard.
