~mr.d and the ducks~

Photobucket

~I really try hard not to have a favorite but I just love this little guy...and it just so happened that the ducks were out the day of our session :) Can you believe he's already standing at 6 months?

~I was talking to a friend about what fierce competition it is out here in the 'Copa. Sometimes I get a little down about this because I just want everyone to get along. I was crying to Scott about this the other night during pillow talk. Our discussion went something like this:
S: "You just have to realize that not everybody is going to like you."
Me: "BUT WHY NOT?"
S: "It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them."
(lightbulb moment!)
I love this quote by fellow photographer Mike Colon:

"You have no competition because there is only ONE of you on this earth. Embrace that fact and let it carry you in your art, your business, and your confidence."
and then this quote from my little calendar fit right in when feeling down:
"GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE AND NO ONE ELSE CAN TAKE YOUR PLACE."


*EDITED*
I am in no way by this post to "bash" the competition but only to encourage other photographers around the world who may be in the same position as me. I have all the respect for my fellow photographers and hope to be friends someday. Thank you to the anonymous person who wrote to me concerned about my business. I appreciate your concern but I feel this is an issue to make people stronger in their businesses and not to back down.
