Well, I can understand that. But, I take it the other way that their photographs {Ansel Adams, and so many on line photogs, awesome shots} inspire me to see what else there is to learn for me. I would love to be a great photographer, skill wise.
My daughter gave me her SRL camera, an older one, and I want to learn how to use it and take some cool night shots {I'd love to take a picture of a big Harvest Moon} and say I did it. But, I would like a telephoto lense for it since I don't go right up to a lot of places...
And, my family gives me such grief for taking pictures. They say I take too long to snap the shot, etc. I take a lot and figure that just a few will come out to be ones I would love.
I give the kids cameras {and now the Hubster takes mine} and love to see what they take pictures of.
{Funny your squirrel comment; first year we gave our 4 year old a camera he was sooooo in awe of the squirrels that is all he took pictures of. I asked him to please stop, we could buy a postcard. He didn't. He was so in awe to see them in all of the public places, on our porch, etc.}
