Frustrated...
I'm in the middle of my big annual Remembrance Day photo project, asking people on the street if I can take their photo while wearing their poppy... As I always say how un-Aspie as that sounds...
Anyway... Normally this close to Remembrance Day I head out on Saturday and get lots of photos, typically at least ten
This year? I was lucky to get six photos, at one point between yesterday afternoon and this morning I had about 15 "no's" in a row, then got five portraits, then hit the wall again, every "no" was drilled into my head in bouts of frustration, I feel miserable right now
I feel like a failure because I just haven't had the results I want, not even close, whether number of photos, the overall quality of most of them, or heard any good stories from anyone
Most any year I had enough good results by the end of today to take it easy on Sunday, again this year I feel like I have to try again tomorrow (Sunday), or maybe I try too hard, probably am...
The good from today:
And the awful, not sure I'll ever use this for anything, although I did have a nice conversation with her
