If you want something that you never had, you have to stop dreaming about it and do something you have never done. There is no polite way to put it, if you want something new, you are going to have to do something new. At times, it might be scary to put yourself out there, to make yourself vulnerable, trying something you have never done is hard. Believing that you will succeed can be even harder, but try it. I remember the first time I entered a photo contest, I never heard back and my photo was not even an honorable mention. The next year I was approached by several magazines and newspapers asking if they could publish a photo, that photo. Put yourself out there for others to see, let them enjoy what you have to offer and try something new. -Tyler Eddy
