It may seem silly, but for years I was terrified of doing a backflip. I would ask my friends to do it for my photos but I was always scared to try for myself. It took awhile but I realized I had to take my own advice and not just be a bystander in one of my favorite activities to shoot, I had to be an active participant. Now it's one of my favorite things. Thanks to those who helped me conquer that fear.
