\"eric<\/p>\n

You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll never be perfect.<\/p>\n

And thats ok.<\/p>\n

1. Forward progress<\/h2>\n

\"eric<\/p>\n

We are all born defective, and we will die defective.<\/p>\n

We will never be world class artists. Our photography will always be lacking in one way or another.<\/p>\n

But isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that okay? Isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it enough for you to make some forward progress, day by day?<\/p>\n

2. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fear imperfection<\/h2>\n

\"cindy<\/p>\n

When we learn to revel, appreciate, and love our own imperfections, then can we truly live. Then we have no fear of putting imperfect art out there.<\/p>\n

Each new day is a step forward. Each new image we publish is a step forward. Perfection doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exist, but forward progress does.<\/p>\n

3. Make art for yourself<\/h2>\n

\"eric<\/p>\n

So friend, know that we are broken artists, and will never be perfect. And that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fine.<\/p>\n

Just shoot, have fun, and enjoy yourself. Upload and share photos that bring you delight. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t expect a bunch of likes, nor should you expect to gain some sort of acclaim for your art.<\/p>\n

Create art for yourself, and please yourself. And try to please 1 other. This way you will never lose motivation. Because, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re being true to yourself.<\/p>\n

Always,
\nEric<\/p>\n
