so yeah. it was my birthday yesterday.

anyways.

sometimes I get very very darn jealous when I see others' pictures. a guy I used to go to Elementary school with is a bloody damn good portrait guy, a few other people I know are great with architecture, nature, macro, etc etc.

then I have to step back and realize something:
it's different from my work. (most of which doesn't get posted here, sorry)

it's different, and I'm okay with that. we all have a different way of looking at things, and that _always_ gives different results. we should be celebrating the differences between us that make our pictures great, not comparing our gear, or whatever else we tend to get caught up in.

I have to say though, my friend's portraits are DAMN good. they're not really my thing though, so when I look at the shoots I've done so far compared to his I have to realize that the differences are purely style.

sigh.
