I'm trying out a new hobby, that has been a casual interest of mine. This year is going to be the year of GoPro photography. It is a kind of weird idea, but the idea is really simple. I've bought the Hero 4 Black so there isn't a better model I can blame for my shortcomings. There is also a wide enough group of users posting their content that I have a significant yard stick to compare myself to.

What have I learned so far?

I've learned that it is easy to have an opinion about what looks good but it is very hard to produce something that I am proud to share. This is the challenge of creative work. My initial work is an embarrassment so far. It is well below the standard I want to produce but this is exactly the point.

What do I want to get out of this?

I want to produce work that I am proud to share. Also, I want to be more comfortable sharing my work. Expanding the things I am comfortable doing without much notice is a sign that I'm progressing towards being an interesting human being.

The same things that hold me back from dancing at weddings are the same things that hold me back with my creative work. This way I'll have something interesting to show people who are also not dancing at weddings.
