A little Inspiration

I have spent my life in a ballet studio.  Since I was 4 years old I have been looking in a mirror, holding on to a barre, putting my hair in a bun, and working to perfect the art of ballet.  I find such strength, discipline, and beauty in ballet dancers.  In ballet, as with any art, there is always something to improve and work on.  The work never stops.  Especually when a perfectionist is involved (me).  That is what I loved about it.
This is also why I love Photography.  I always see need for improvement.  I will never reach perfection.  But this also frustrates me at times.  But when I get frustrated, I look for inspiration through things I love, like ballet, and shoot away.  Beautiful, isn’t it?
