Thanks for the encouragement, especially now that I'm feeling better enough to heed it.
I made interesting photos before I had all the tools, but having the additional tools made some things feasible that hadn't been, and made other things easier. So I'm not dead in the water, no, but I'm feeling ... limited. It's too early and the hurt too raw to figure out whether the degree to which I feel limited is reasonably proportional to reality yet.
Intellectually I know there's nothing wrong with asking for help, especially from places that exist to provide it, but I find it unreasonably difficult for reasons I'm still figuring out. I'm working to get past that. But the occasional nudge is probably not a bad thing.
