Dr. Barr,
I was so excited to find your second article was published and it did not disappoint. Your series is becoming one of the most important to me that I have read--so very very few go beyond technical concerns. I am sure it will help many besides me who feel stymied with what to do next to progress. I have several ideas percolating tonight. Thank you again for investing in people you don't even know.
George,
I think you hit the nail on the head with installment #2, but it's important to point out that a photographer needs to be selective when seeking professional, or peer, reviews. I once made the mistake of showing some of my landscape work to a prominent documentary photographer, who promptly, and completely, trashed the entire portfolio. I later showed that same set of images to a landscape photographer who was quite complimentary and supportive. In retrospect, it was stupid to show my work, devoid of people, to a photographer who specializes in the human condition.
To be honest, I did walk away from that review with some new insights, but I had to be careful not to let my hurt feelings get in the way of what, and how, I like to photograph.
