How many of you look back at all of your first sessions since deciding to become a photographer? I do, and I am SO proud of myself for getting myself this far on my own! I may not have a degree in photography, but I consider myself to be just as good as a photographer just starting out with a degree. Yes, I still have a long way to go and have so much to learn.
Yes, I was one of those "faux"tographers that started out using picnik. Yes, everyone has to start somewhere. Financially it wasn't in the cards yet to spend money on a good photoshop. In my eyes, it's not the camera or the equipment that you use that makes you a photographer. Anyone can pick up an expensive camera and take a picture. But it's the talent and true artist within yourself that catches those great images. The editing and equipment are the extras that make those great pictures greater!
Anyways, the main point of this is that you CAN use all of the criticism and degrading to prove those who don't believe in you WRONG. It's your life and your dreams. Believe in yourself, listen to your heart, and you'll shoot to the top!
