Recently my life speeded up and I feel like I am moving at light speed. There is so much to do and so little time!
No matter how fast life is moving it is always good to take stock of where you are and how far you have come. I know I have talked about my first lego photo. I'm not shy about how bad it was. But somewhere in the last 2 1/2 years and thousands of photos, I improved. I don't know where or how, but it happened.
Last spring I was asked by friends to do a series of photos that would substitute for their engagement photos. One thing led to another and these photographs ended up in The Huffington Post. I had my 15 minutes of fame and it was fun.
I promised my friends that I would take one of the images and create a framed piece as they're wedding gift. Unfortunately the image they chose I had grown dissatisfied with and decided to re shoot it. This ended up being a great way to bench mark how much I have grown and learned in the past year.
Personally I was surprised by how different the photo came out. I do feel it represents my current style, which make me wonder what it will look like if I retake it a year from now?
Next time you have a moment, stop and compare the photos you have taken recently with the photos you took a year ago. And while you are at it, give yourself a pat on the back because I'm sure you have made some significant improvements along the way.

Do you ever look back at your photos and notice how much you have learned?
Do you have a photo you can re-shoot for a side by side comparison?
If so, would you share it with us?
