Trying a Little Harder

I meant to sign up for a part-time introductory photography class but I wussed out of calling up the school to ask some questions.  I originally sent them an e-mail but received no response.  I did try calling last Friday but no one picked up.  :/  I guess I don’t want it bad enough??  Maybe when the next semester starts (and the weather will also be better for the field trips).  Anyway, someone at work started up a photography club with plans to do monthly field trips.  So I’ll definitely be trying to participate in those as often as I can.

Also, a friend of mine started up an art blog for people he knows to just get together and practice their drawings.  Skills range from beginners to professionals.  Tonight we just did a 1-hour sketch session, the subject matter being “mythical monsters.”  You can see what we came up with following the link in the blogroll called “Kamikaze Art Club.”

Both of these groups are intimidating the hell out of me.  The first camera club meeting had some pretty impressive photos and ideas behind them.  And some of the artists in the art blog are way ahead of me as well.  I worry a lot about my skills and not showing any improvement as time goes on.  Also, I always think my stuff looks unpolished compared to others.  Tough to shake that feeling.
