Natural Gift

The other day I went with my cousin around campus and he took pictures for his project. However he ended up just taking a ton of pictures of squirrels. Which was fun to see him all excited. But we had a discussion about what makes a good photographer. And he said any one can be great, you just have to take millions of pictures. However I believe/ know it is something you are either really good at or not. I mean you can learn how to be better, but you can never have that raw talent others have. Its really just like any other talent. You can learn how to play the piano but you're never going to be as good as someone with a natural gift. My roommates see my nice camera and are like you should be a photography major. But just because I stole my
mothers camera, and enjoy taking pictures does not make me good. Which is really to bad. But I do know that Heavenly Father gave me other talents, It's just not an artistic one. But I believe I have the gift of appreciating beauty. Here are some of my inspiration. ( I know its creepy that I save other peoples photos but I'm over it)
All my love,
Martha
