The Very Beginning.....

So...Ive jumped on the 101 in 1001 bandwagon. It does seem like a bloody good way to make decent goals and actually have some way of reaching them! some of my goals may well not be achievable, i mean i have no real say in weather i can actually reproduce and i seriously doubt I will ever get my underground cinema in my house....but others should be easy enough to do, just have to get off my fat arse and DO THEM!!

#16 - Ive already crossed off one of my goals for this year. The AIPP stands for the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers. It basically means im hot shit and can say my photos rock!! haha. i have to say Ive always been majorly hesitant of joining this organisation because i was worried it would make me stuck up or snobby or bitchy or elitist...and i hate the idea of people judging me and my work. Ive always WANTED to join because it IS elitist and Ive always wanted to be friends with the popular kids at school (slight conundrum I know) but also because it makes you strive to be better. Ive never been great with rejection or criticism as I always take it far to personally (your photo is printed a bit light and lacks contrast = you are a failure at everything and your too fat) so having my work, which means so much to me, scrutinised and judged is very very very very VERY scary for me. So I'm extremely proud of myself for not only being accepted int the cool group at school, but also being brave enough to put my application in at all! So YAY for me!!
