When I started this I never thought about doubt entering my mind. It always seemed easy to take a picture every day but lately I am really concerned that they are just pictures. I am awed by some of the things I see on this web site. For the first time in my life I have hidden out, I have missed a couple of days from fear of posting something without creativity. It may be hard on the viewer but I won't miss anymore days from that fear. So this picture is like my artistic ability, sort of old, sort of moldy, sort of colorful, sort of chipped but still setting out on the deck to see every day.

Nice metaphor. (Nice texture capture too.) I wouldn't worry about it; most of us will take average shots now and then, and the worst that happens? It ultimately helps us to understand what makes the good ones good, and to recognise those qualities when taking future shots. Best to shoot just for ourselves; if others like our work all to the better, if they don't, well, they're just passing through our galleries, while we're the ones who live there.
