perfect timing. been feeling like that lately. i have a friend that has been a bit hard commenting on my pictures. although i took it as constructive criticism in the beginning, it started to bother me to the point of not wanting to share my pictures. but that didn't keep me from shooting. i love to take pictures of everything and anything..

It is fun to share quotes and visions of people who inspire us. Sometimes it puts things in perspective that in the art world there are no hard and fast rules . I like to think about the artists that forged their way ahead of us. so many Van Gogh, Picasso, Jackson Pollock.. they all broke rules and conventions and to me they are great artists. Follow your heart and your vision.
Have fun Shooting ! :thumbup:

Even if I learn something new about photography every single day ... I know full well I will never know everything.
One thing I do know is the critique (for the most part) is only about the photo and not the photographer personally. We all see things differently.. and in my opinion thats what makes this all worth while. How boring would it be if we all took exactly the same kind of photos.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
