End of Fourth Trimester...Hmmmm...

Thought this was going to get easier, but find that it has been becoming quite the contrary. Frustrating start to second year on a technical, artistic and relational level.

Not happy with very first results and then when I am finally content with a project - it is rejected.

Technically, I am galloping ahead. I've bought new gear and am mastering it. As for experimentation: I am indeed trying new approaches, different venues, different themes...but am - apparement - not focussed enough. Even tried a bit of the "tendance grunge" (the Colruyt escalator pics were well received!), but it leaves me dissatisfied and I remain a champion of the aesthetic value of photography, however "boring". 

Artistically, I am - apparement - not on the same planet as my fellow students and teachers. I am - apparement - not "expressing myself" through my pictures and they are too picture/postcard and lack "soul". Hmmmmm. Whatever. Need a "dikkenek" and thicker skin, sans doute.

Is this what they call the "wilderness year(s)" ? I'm sticking with artists Kate B. & Peter G. on this: "...don't give up."
