This is so ironic it's funny to me. The guy is a professional photographer (for, like 40+ years). He accidentally takes a fuzzy picture. Instead of deleting it like the rest of us would, he writes about it and makes it sound positive! We all need that type of confidence that our mistakes are not bad, and in fact may be good!
From his article:
" texture, as we know, is born from imperfection"
" blurred capture isn’t a blemish on your record — it’s texture"
" those ‘mistakes’ in your practice aren’t obstacles; they are the fibers that give your artistry depth"
" Find beauty in the unintentional"
" learn to find poetry in chaos"
" texture brings character — and character is what makes you not just a photographer, but an artist"
I can't help but see the blessings in adopting this way of thinking! It could apply to many areas of life. Everything we've experienced in life has brought us to this stage of our lives.
Compare it to these Bible verses: Romans 5:1-5 "... we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
I hope God gives you "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" so that you gain perspective and confidence in whatever you attempt to do.
