I can totally relate to that actually. I pretty much hadn't picked up the camera in weeks when I opted to start and figured I'd do it anyway.

Pass all the judgement you want
In any case, I've actually been pretty happy with most of my shots. Even when it was 11:30 at night and I was verging on not having a shot, I'd suck it up and come up with something. My least favourite shots are some of the iPhone ones, but even then it's all just part of it. I don't feel bad about having a few less than "perfect" shots because the point was to try something, to try to work with whatever limits I had at the time, and to try to take something I wouldn't mind posting. So far, so good. There may yet come a time when I'm taking a shot just to take a shot, but for now, I'm happy with what I've accomplished and happy with what I'm learning.
