Find a New Angle

by Amanda Hokr

Sometimes you have to fail a bunch of times to get something right.  You have to change your angle and try a new one. To find new angles you have to push yourself to be creative. Also, you have to be willing to sacrifice succeeding right away to find these new angles. 

It took me a long time to realize that I have to be okay with not getting the right answer on the first try. The way we learn is how we fail. If we don't fail then we can’t find the really cool answers after failing. 

Photography is something that has helped me understand failing. It is an activity that you have to try from different angles and understand that the first angle may not be the best angle.  Sometimes you might end up capturing a moment that you were not expecting. The world of creative possibility lies within capturing a photo.
