Lacking confidence in myself

I have been struggling with Exercise 5 in part one of the Progressing with Digital Photography, the exercise where you have to read the essay 'Understanding a Photograph' by John Berger.  I've read one or two other blogs but have failed to get much sense from this essay at all.

I was trying to describe my dilemma to a friend that I bump into occasionally and she gave me a real boost to my confidence when she told me that in her opinion I was as able as the next person and was able to work on my own ideas.  She thought I was a person who was very capable and if I was finding the essay critique difficult to understand then that was what I had to say.  Talk about giving me a real boost to say the least, I have real confidence to carry on with this exercise after I have written up the second assignment on creating a book cover.

Thank you Margaret.
