Do what I love and be authentically me????

Okay I get it! There is a running theme in all the sessions I've attended at WPPI. I think it has more to do with the presentations I chose to attend, but I must have needed it. Almost every speaker talked about being unique and different. And when they say that I just get all freaked out. How? How do I be different from anyone else? What do I have to say that no one else does? How can I make myself different? What makes me unique or different from the other 700 other people in this room? And I get discouraged and end up at the same place I have found myself  some many times before, comparing myself to everyone else and feeling completely inadequate. I start to get so worried about not being different enough that I lose sight of what it is really about..... Me. From what the speakers are saying all I have to do is be me. Be true to myself and make photos that I love and the work will come. (now I have a hard time buying that one but I'm willing to put it to the test) I already know this and have had opportunities to learn this over and over in my life it still seems harder than it is. when in reality I am just learning this and rediscovering who I am every time.  I am just taking it to a new level. As Shrek would say "Ogres are like onions. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers." I guess this is perfect as I am trying to figure out what my style is. So to this new opportunity to rediscover who I am and my voice I say "ommmmm.... what the hell, go for it anyway....."
