I have been thinking a lot about comparing myself to others lately too. I think I'm getting better at not doing it in a judgemental way. But it's tough not to.
I love how your mind works, and I hope you do too.
I can't say that I struggle much with comparisons anymore. I can accept me for me. I may want to be a different me, an ever-evolving me, but still me and not someone else. That's finally come with a bit of age and wisdom, but it's an on-going journey. Now that I've tackled that, there are still plenty of other hurdles to be taken on. :)
Have I told you lately that your photography is amazing? Probably not. I should do that more often. I never compare your photographs to mine, unless I'm doing it to learn. I think that's the best way to compare things anyway.
Beautiful picture. Absolutely ephemeral.

I love this collage. It is as if there is a morning fog and I'm looking through the fog at the flowers. It is really magical. :-)

I've always thought intent was what really mattered, if someone is keeping track of this shit.

That photo is breathtaking! And the bit about comparison being simply a means to withhold love and acceptance? Spot-on.

I also think intent is the a big part of anything. I like to look at that before makinf judgements.
