slap in the face or kick in the butt?

I had fun at the luau between being a sneaky (not really) camera ninja to answering peoples questions about cameras. But the whole event as a whole left me with quite a personal problem.

1. I wasn't prepared (didn't have business cards and it rained for the first half..rain got on my lens and I didn't realize that some of the pictures where blurred in the right hand corner BAH)

2. A friend asked me and she wanted to pay me but I always feel really awkward about pricing things like that... talked with another friend about it but I can't help it. I'm in the process of making a site with a price list but I didn't go by that at all.

3. I'm getting better at talking and having conversations but every now and again I don't know how to end them and I end up just kind of giving an awkward laugh and walking off. yeah... smooth.

4. I have absolutely no confidence in my own work.

So those are things that I am dealing with right now and trying to figure out. But anything you get out of an experience is good in my book! Oh and I haven't asked if I can post some of the pictures yet, i'll see about that.

P.s. Book review tomorrow!!
