too old

The boyfriend posted this image on facebook
It supposedly hasn't been photoshopped, but the skeptic in me is assuming that there has to at least be some editing done to it.. to get that sort of colours and tonal quality in it. Or maybe it was shot on film. [I love film photography, a blog entry on that for another day]
Well I think that this is meant to be a self-portrait, so maybe a very pro person shot this photo of her? Or she just used a tripod..
Just slighty miffed that nikki.jane is about 14 years old and is able to take such great shots.. and I don't. The shots I take are alright and I do believe that simply because of the sheer number of shots that I do take (though that number has dropped greatly these days), one or two has to once in a while end up being a good shot.
Sure I'm very impressed by her body of work.. but honestly, don't you find these insanely young and overly talented people annoying?
It's like you hit that tender age of about 15 years old, and you're still not manifesting some sort of innate talent that should well be beyond your years..
And you realize that you're getting too old to be a prodigy.
Damn.
Oh well, here's to trying to be a 'late bloomer' then :)
