i suck in priceing any of my work. and i know i need to change that, and i don't. And one of the problems you mentioned, a lot of that feels natural, feels nothing special, and most of the times maybe i am right. especially because people look on photography as, you must have a good camera.
even the quote is most probably fake, it sounds nice (popped in my mind when you said life would be dull with no artist)
Just starting the process is good. it took me ages to find some solutions.
