"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen."

Self-portrait with my squad | Austin, TX | April 2017
I wrote about this on Instagram yesterday, but since I'm trying this whole blogging thing now, figured I should share here, too. Right?
So, I'm not really big on resolutions, but at the start of the year, I was inspired by the quote above to set some intentions for 2017. Not really big on self-portraits either, but since growing as a photographer was also on the intentions wish list, here I am, showing up and letting myself be seen.
Confessions: I only took this photo because of a workshop I've been taking and should be posting it simply because I like it, not because of the teacher's positive feedback (and confidence it gave me). I also took an embarrassing amount of shots to get this halfway decent one that I only kinda sorta like. That nice gallery wall is the only wall decorated in that room.
While only a baby step, gonna keep trying this whole showing up and letting myself be seen in all its good, bad, and ugliness. 👊🏻
