Your blog’s tagline caught my attention: “If there’s anything worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” My Dad used to say the same thing all the time when I was growing up. May I pontificate for a bit on the adage? I like the idea very much, I just wish he had stated it slightly differently. Something like, “Anything worth doing is worth doing diligently” or “with dedication”. My Dad views the world purely in black and white, right and wrong, success and failure. I tend to see more gray areas in the world (actually I see fabulous rainbows, but that’s a different topic). When he would say, “Anything worth doing is worth doing right,” it left me with no margin for error, no mistakes, no falling short. It was a standard of perfection, and one I couldn’t live up to.

I think it is very good to throw oneself with dedication and even joy into whatever task is worth doing. I just try no longer to set myself up to fail at reaching a standard of perfection no one can really attain.

Sorry if this is too long or too intrusive. I appreciate your thoughts and your photography, and hope to see much more.
