just a small town girl, living in a lonely world

Mom, I think it's time you admitted that you just can't take good pictures no matter what kind of camera you have.

So you've been tinkering around with the settings on the camera and you've figured them out. And even with all of that, good pictures are a rarity in the 1k batches of images that you come home with. I end up trashing half of them, sometimes even more, and putting half of the remaining ones for fixing with photoshop.
You just don't feel the composition. You pay no thought to horizon, depth, balance, scenery. You don't see the final image. You just snap a picture and think that it's going to do the trick. Sometimes you get lucky. But three good pictures in a thousand? Not really worth it, y'know.

I, on the other hand, while having not a darnedest clue about the settings, have five good images for every single one of yours. Just... Idk. You're average, mom. Everything you do, you're average.
Save for knitting. You make awesome sweaters. And you're good at sewing. But you hate doing that.
