Fear kills creativity. True creativity comes from fearlessness. If you are afraid of being rejected or of not being accepted, then you will not fully express yourself...and you will never be as fully creative as you could be.

One of the biggest mistakes people make in their lives, is not asking for what they want. They think to themselves "I will probably get 'no' for an answer." So, they do not even ask. What they have essentially done is....told themselves "No." This is a tremendous mistake.

Create your photographs, your art, in any way that you want. Express yourself as you want to express yourself, ignoring all critics and "rules."
