Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Some days I'm passable!. Other days !.!.!. not so much!.

And every once in a while I get it to all come together and do something that's really good!

The key - as an old pro once told me - is "just don't show anybody your bad ones!"Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm!.!.!. Well, I'm not bad, but I don't know if I'd really go so far as to call myself good!. I mean, whenever I print, I tend to go rather hard on myself!.!.!. Sometimes the words "Talentless Hack" are thought!.!.!. Then again, it should be fairly clear that I am sort of a pent-up ball of neurosis!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As far as formal portraiture, which I do for a living, I feel confident that I am good!. When I get the camera in my hands as a hobbyist I am always striving to learn more, to expand my style and I would say I am far less sure of my abilities!.

I try not to judge my work anymore!. I just learn every time I snap a shutter what to do more the next time!. I let my clients tell me if I am good or not by whether they book me or refer me to others!.
