Fear of Mediocrity

I was watching the new Paulie B video where he’s doing a Q & A. One of the questions was “How do you overcome the fear of photographing strangers up close.” NYC street photographer Chris Voss answered it perfectly. The fear of mediocrity at something he loves is more scary that photographing strangers. Ya know, I think that sums it up. Why spend all this time, effort and money at something and not do your best. It might not matter if you suck at photos as long as you’re having fun. But I think humans are programed for progress so we need to make strives.
