Amen to that.

Stick to taking photos in an environment that you love.  If you enjoy
placating bossy brides and nervous models, if the fickle factor of human
nature is your cup of tea, then go for it.  If on the other hand you take
solace in unhurried mountains scapes and patient waterfalls then what are
you waiting for?

Life is too short to spend your time stressing out. Make it a goal to enjoy
what you do.

Peter
