It touches on something I've been considering. I am miserable at judging my own work. Things that I consider "nice but not special" get high compliments from people who I respect, while things that I consider very cool and interesting get little, if any, reaction. The problem with the restaurant wall theory is that the people looking at stuff on the restaurant wall aren't necessarily the best critics of photography. I suppose that if there were a PDML cafe, the feedback might be a bit more useful, but it would probably just quickly degenerate into a bunch of scruffy middle aged photographers standing around making stupid puns that had nothing to do with the photograph in front of them. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
