M U S E


For my weekly Project 52 assignment. Last weeks was Muse: to become absorbed in thought, ponder, wonder, marvel. Well, I don't get out much here in Provo. It's cold and I can only photograph my kids for my assignments. I really was excited to get in on Project 52 to get lots of feedback from other photographers. But, I will be honest, I am getting NADA from others. People hardly every leave comments on my photos. I understand there is about 1,000 people that are involved in it. But, I know people look at it. Like I think this photo of Evelyn is really cute. I mean its not the best shot, clutter in the back round but still deserves a comment from someone. It got one comment by the end of the week. Ya, it was from myself saying: "I would love just one comment!". No one cared...ugg. Anyways I am not trying to have a pity party on myself, but its just been something I have had on my mind. Photography is a hard thing to love. Because well, lets face it everyone in their dog is a photographer now. And everyone has their own style and opinion on what is and isn't a good photo. I have days where I think I am decent and other days where I am not anything special. However, I am still going to pursue the love I have for photography and keep on pushing forward. I am hoping to open my own business soon after we move back to Nevada. I already know what I will be calling it. It's a secret ya'll. You will have to wait to see. Can't wait until I have my license, and a new webite. It is going to be really neat. Until then I might just quit Project 52

I love all your photos and your photography style. I love how you don't use a ton of photoshop, you have real photography talent, not just photoshop editing skills like a lot of photographers these days! I hate how you aren't getting any comments. I know how you feel! I love making bows and such and sometimes I will feel like I have finally made something so pretty. I will post a picture on my little facebook fan page and no one comments! lol! It makes me feel stupid for even posting! Those other photographers are just jealous of your photography and pretty girls!!

Tara I love your photography! I think you have your own distinct style. A lot of people's photos look ridiculous to me with the shiney eyes and plastic looking skin. But I love yours. You took great photos even before photoshop. :)

Don't quit! Think about how much doing a years worth of photos - that have to be specific - will do for you! You'll have such a broad portfolio, not that you don't already! I really LOVE quite a few of the ones you've done already. You're a great photographer, and I agree with what's been said - your pictures look real. And they're good even before photoshop. :) I think you should stick it out.
