Hey, thank you. Flickr is an endless source of inspiration. My only problem right now is I have accumulated a lot of different techniques I haven’t fully mastered. Instead of doing half-assed experimentations, I should focus on a single technique (multiple self, aging process, etc.) then move to a new one. Self-discipline is required.
