Lawrence, your photography that I have seen in your 365 has been steadily improving, and you are leaps and bounds ahead of where you were when you started out. I always love looking through your stuff and I really think there are some pure gems in there. You have the eye, and I think you have the desire. The key is to keep shooting for you. Take photos of what you enjoy taking photos of. Make it fun for yourself, and start to look at things from angles you wouldn't normally. Maybe even start shooting things you normally wouldn't shoot. Mix it up and try a bunch of different things. I know that I get worn out shooting the same sorts of things over and over, which is why I like to change it up. It also expands your skill set and introduces you to things that you might like. Experimentation is a must in photography I think. I remember my biggest struggle when I first started shooting seriously was getting ideas of what to shoot. If given a little time, I can come up with nice compositions, but coming up with what to shoot was the hard part. I just kept at it and kept looking at the world. I looked at what other people were doing and tried to come up with ideas and inspiration. This can be a double edged sword though, because it gives you ideas at the same time as making you feel bad about your work because you feel like other people's stuff is so much nicer. Harness the ideas part of it.The other thing I would focus on is post processing. Sometimes it takes seeing the potential for a good shot, capturing it, and then revealing the real shot through PP. Mind you, great editing can't fix composition errors, but it can make those shots pop a lot more. Keep at it buddy, I am a fan of your stuff and I really enjoy seeing what you come up with!</blockquote>
