Thanks!

Thank you to everyone who has been supportive during this "slump" or whatever you want to call it, lately. I appreciate the comments and personal support. I really didn't let on all that I am feeling in my post a few days ago. Here's just a few things that I have been doing, that are just absolute no-no's:

-comparing myself/photos to others
-trying to get that "perfect shot" right off the bat (no PS or Picasa) - that's what I did with film, right? So what's so different w/ digital? It's the immediate feedback that's causing the stir, I think.
-experimenting with manual settings again and getting frustrated - patience is not my virtue
-too high expectations...that's a daily struggle for me

Well, there you have it. Hopefully, the time away from home and my "duties" as Mama this weekend will give me some alone time w/ my camera (and it not end in turmoil).
