In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Practice Makes Perfect?.”
If I had a talent I don’t have, it would be a talent where I can draw. Both of my parents were much better at it then me. I think it skipped a generation. I can’t draw at all. When I studied graphic design, drawing and painting was the worse thing I knew. Even if I liked doing that when I was a kid, I’m not very keen on it anymore. I just can’t get things on a paper. If I could draw I could have a job or make some kind of living out of it. You know illustrations and things like that.
There are amazing artists out there. I have an online friend that can draw really well. She draws a lot of motor sport drivers. She’s really good. She even got drivers she’s drawn to like them on social media. She studies graphic design and she will go a long way with her talent. I wish I could draw like that.
But I have no talent and no faith of learning to draw. The same with dancing. I can do it in my head but when I try to for real, it becomes a mess. I just stick to photography. That’s some kind of artistic talent I guess. At least I’m better at that then drawing.
In my world 
I really believe everyone has some artistic ability, but they have to find their medium. Yours definitely seems to be photography! http://judydykstrabrown.com/2015/07/14/java-101/

I’ve always been envious of those with unique talents like drawing as I love art, but we each have a gift that is unique to us if we can only discover it. Seems like you’ve discovered yours.

Sometimes I doubt myself though.

We all doubt ourselves sometimes. I’m not certain I’ve found my gift yet, but I know it exists within me. If you keep pressing forward the voice of doubt will steadily get weaker.

I usually don’t know if I have a talent until someone says I do.In the end as you long as you know yourself you have a talent,doesn’t matter what others think.Of course it’s always nice to know that there are others that think the same as you do.Don’t know if that made any sense 😀

I tried drawing too when I was a tiny kid, but I guess I just didn’t have the patience for it. Art is fluid, and in my eyes as a little child back then, I strongly believed everything should be precise and symmetrical, so I stuck with what I could do today, which is letting my fingers dance across the keyboard. I saw your photos, I guess for what you couldn’t do, you make it up perfectly well with you amazing photography skills. Keep posting photos!
