Many a master painter, photographer and artist struggled in their lifetime to be accepted by "the public" only to be elevated to the level of genius by their critics after they were gone. The whole point of art....YOUR artistic vision of art...is to believe in it, develop it to the best of your ability and then let the world see itself through YOUR eyes. Not what you think the world wants you to see, but what you believe is truth and art. It takes a very brave heart to be an artist and to post your work for all the world to view - so be brave and believe in what you see and how you portray it in your photography.

I would give zero weight to the comments of someone on a photo forum who is arrogant enough to say you shouldn't be posting your work. Who died and made them King of the Photography World? Is that the best they can do with their time? While this person is surfing the web, just looking at everyone's photos....you go out and actually MAKE good photos.


Kirsten, I hope you can take this to heart. It's soooo true.
