I think everyone experiences the "self doubt" Colin refers to and it's natural to think so. But everything I've seen (and read) on you site is a testament to your ability as a truly fine photographer. The rest of us should be so lucky.ken bellohttp://2clicksaway.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559120712893478325.post-10092839981911388752013-01-14T15:25:10.883-05:002013-01-14T15:25:10.883-05:00Hi John: You are so wrong on every count! "Mi...Hi John: You are so wrong on every count! "Middle American suburban living" may seem mundane to you, but to me it isn't familiar by any stretch ~ so that takes care of your second paragraph because there is usually something very interesting in your pictures, not least how different our respective visions can be.<br /><br />With respect to your last paragraph, around the time that you posted "Sea Breeze Roundabout", 1st Nov 2011, I sensed that you had found a style that had your fingerprint on in. That image has stuck in my mind. I think that you have consistently posted other such images since then that have been engaging and interesting; for example the areas where you work, both inside and outside. I would never have thought to have done that yet I sincerely think that your images are relevant and thought provoking. I look at what you post and think, "I walk past stuff like that too, but never notice those sorts of compositions". You however, show me them.<br /><br />I go through periods of great self doubt when I feel like deleting my whole blog, that I'm just churning out more of the same old thing, but if I look back I am led to believe that I've grown a lot over the recent years. The really nice thing about our sort of blogging community is that we aren't competitive and that allows us to benefit in a more spiritual and meaningful way from each others work. Regards, Colin.

But if it is the "pretty piocture" I will shoot it or if it is a twisted vine on my house railing I will shoot that. No restrictions, "see it, shoot it, keep it, delete it".<br />To many people make photography HARD. I t should be satifying and fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559120712893478325.post-15713862984202665202013-01-13T18:53:40.871-05:002013-01-13T18:53:40.871-05:00The suburbs are a great photo resource for showing...The suburbs are a great photo resource for showing one of the effects of excess consumption on climate change. For me, your photo shows that. Carolynnoreply@blogger.com
