…if i just had that one lens that the other photographers have…or a better camera…or pocketwizards…

I’d be more creative if I wasn’t so worried that people would think my work was bad.
I’d be more creative…if I had more open and free time to create instead of forcing myself to create when all of a sudden I have a free moment in life.
