No seriously, fill in the blank. Just for fun, what might I be reacting to, saying, etc. You can either leave it as a comment, a "note", or use Captioner.

I'm not sure if anyone else out there in Flickrland has gone through this, but I've felt nearly afraid to take photos. Afraid that they won't be good enough, or interesting, or compelling, or well executed, or conceptually intriguing. I've held my camera over and over and just deleted whatever I've shot. Not quite a "writers block", more my own imposed pressure. I've heard it said, "go with what you know" -- so I just shot this yesterday sort of encapsulating what's bottled up.

Wow, I look insane.
