Tiffanysays
Feb 7th, 2012 at eight:37 pm
Yeah I think I'm but starting to become that. I have a bad habit, from taking Abbie pics, of taking similar 100 and so that one is bound to be in focus and her eyes are open, etc. so I have to remind myself that I don't demand a dozen shots of the same rose. I'm getting amend, lol.

My other one is, "Inspiration is all around you. You just accept to expect."
