Loved this Becky! So resonant as I fumble my way through photography. The gap between my taste and my skill is real but I try to remain true to the hope of sucking less tomorrow :)

Thanks Camilo! The updates bit is a cool idea from Tommy Dixon, and it's what my friends end up texting me about after reading it. Can't wait to hear more about your art journey :)
