Yesterday, I really wasn't fishing for compliments.  I think I was fishing more for comments related to this line in the last paragraph:

I push myself every day, putting enormous  pressure on myself to get the perfect shot.  And when I don't, I'm devastated.

Does anyone else ever feel like that?  If you do, how do you manage those feelings?
If you don't, how do you avoid them?

Or you can just comment on the photo and not comment on the feelings part if you don't have any.

Or not.
