I"m truly sorry if I hurt your feelings. I just don't understand why I find the same things being repeated. I'm an old man who is trying to learn how to improve my hobby. I like it when you and all the other experts print something that I did not know. Always looking for something new, not something that I've already seen. I do admit to some feelings of dislike, such as black and white, and shots that debase women. I guess I really should keep my opinion to myself. Sorry to all. There will be no more comments from me.

Your comment is consistent with other posts you've made on UHH. Yet, unless I missed it, you've not posted one image to show everyone "how photography" should, in your opinion, be done. You did not use "quote reply" so I don't know to whom the comment was directed. I do know some topics are occasionally repeated - folks are constantly adding to their image libraries, new folks may not have seen previous works. Your comment doesn't "justify" an answer, but you may not know stories behind some of the posters - they rely on archives because for one reason or another they are unable to be out and about and photograph as they once could.

Your other posts elsewhere on UHH make you appear to be ready to criticize any and everyone. I am sorry if you've lived a life of criticism which makes you feel better by criticizing others. I'd encourage you, instead, to try encouraging folks in their photographic process. This thread is about learning and encouragement; life already has plenty of negativity and curmudgeons. We have ONE guiding principal: Be KIND in what you say and how you say it; you never know what someone else is going through. I wish you well.
