Two beauties for your Wednesday...

I've been taking less photos lately, mostly because I only want to shoot under perfect lighting conditions with beautiful subjects and if I don't have them I won't shoot, and these things are hard to come by. I've always been hypercritical of subject matter, especially when I was studying writing, no matter how much my professors lectured to "silence the inner critic!" Really it is about always having my camera with me and not being afraid to use it (or just writing, writing, writing). And creating something beautiful under imperfect conditions. The nice thing about art is that if you work at it enough you are bound to get something good. And I'm starting to feel inspired again.
