What is your springboard?

So as part of my extended project class, we have to have a blog. Since I already have this one, my posts for class will also be on here.

My topic for the first post is "What is your springboard"?

By definition, a springboard is "a strong, flexible  board from which someone can jump in order to gain added impetus when performing a dive or gymnastic movement; a thing that lends impetus or assistance to a particular action, enterprise, or development."

So what is my springboard?

This image is my springboard. When I take photographs, I want to make something that I can be proud of. This photograph is one of the few photos I have taken, where in the end I can look back at it time and time again and still be proud of how it turned out. An idea is not my springboard, but a feeling. The feeling of accomplishment and pride when you create something that you fall in love with.
