I've been learning some things about photography lately . . .
Know that the best shot will happen tomorrow.
Willingly fill up your memory card with photos. Have fun!
Then ruthlessly delete the shoddy ones.
If you've been barefoot for a while, try on some pumps. Or vice versa.
Take photos of the thing or place you've taken photos of for years. Find or make new eyes for yourself.
Shoot in the wind.
Take a picture of something plastic.
Fail if you need to.
Don't let dust settle on your camera.
But rest from searching for a photo every so often..
Don't let yourself down.
Get up at sunrise.
Work for excellence.
Shoot golden hour to the point of exploitation.
Be humble.
And grateful.
And adaptive.
Don't wait.
Carry paper and pen.
Be inspired.
Don't grieve over the fabulous shot you miss.
Chill out.
Do something about your dreams.
Ignore the curmudgeons.
Have strong convictions and an open heart.
And believe in every shot.

Those are beautiful photos! The last one is very cool indeed! Great job! And keep up the good work!
... believe in yourself. Don't forget that one :)
You are well on your way to becoming an outstanding photographer! Look at the insight you have already... for some of us, it's taken years to be able to say these things to ourselves!! I'm bookmarking this mantra for daily reference!
So insightful and philosophic! :)
Even I can use these and I'm not even a photographer.
