Fake it 'til you make it

I recently bought two books written by Austin Kleon, Steal Like an Artist & Show Your Work.
I finished reading the first one last week and felt pretty inspired by it.
The book was easy to read, I read most of it in bus on my way home from work.
And I found some of my biggest sins written on the pages. I am a perfectionist. In my case this means that I don't like to show off unfinished work. I get stuck with details more than I should. I don't want to start something if I feel the time and place aren't right, if I don't feel ready.
But. After reading this book I decided to start doing something every day. Do things with passion. I want to be a photographer and artist, so I'm faking to be one 'til the day I actually become one.
(No funny hats will be harmed in the process.) I'll TAKE more pictures, share my pictures and other projects, even if they're not ready. I'll learn and copy from my idols 'til I find myself, my own voice, my own style. And maybe one day I can jump off this treadmill called (day)job and do the things I love for my living instead.












P.s. You might have noticed I've updated the right sidebar..
If you didn't, take a look.
I updated first the sites that I follow.
And there will be more updates..
