While I would agree that one has to have zeal, passion, and unwavering desire, confidence doesn't necessarily automaticly follow. To this day, I sometimes have to "pretend confidence" - yes I have to "suck it up" and move forward even though I am not quite sure what the outcome will be. Yes, I know the "nuts and bolts" about technique, but sometimes there is conflict between the head and heart of a matter... and I find I just have to let go of the logical and move with the theoritical. At the end of the day, it is all part of the journey, and life just wouldn't be as much fun without the excitement of wonder... Bambi Cantrell Cantrell Portrait Design, Inc.

I'd add that those I consider Icons are those that teach, and give back to the community in the form of education, mentoring and knowledge-sharing...(one of the best things about our industry, and reflective of what you're doing with your Photo Network) What an interesting post Skip…dig it.
