Confidence is an interesting concept. It can be viewed in so many ways. People have so many different perceptions of what confidence can be, and each person has their own personal definition of it as well. Over the years I have given fleeting thoughts to it. Mostly I have observed it in others and though about how I didn’t have it in myself. When I first started my career in photography I was lacking a lot of confidence in myself. I was ok with sitting on the sidelines with a long lens snapping photos of my favorite subjects, (horses and people) but I really wasn’t too keen on getting up close and personal.
