Re: Photography That Doesn't Suck

2013-02-15 by Jacques Caron

Harry B, you made my day!

I'm a pro and I like looking at others' works. You're right about taking one's art too seriously; as an example, just do a research on the Internet for a picture, and you will see a lot of very good, to outstanding pictures coming from amateurs.

In the old times, maybe a photographer was convince that he had a spectacular image (no way to compare) but now….

I make a living with my travel pictures and I'm not afraid to say that there is a lot of amateurs who beat me flat! In any event, that's. at least. a lesson in humility.

You're right again when you say if someone is making any $$$ with your pics, good for them. As posting images, just put on FaceBook (or the the Web) low res pics. On a screen, everyone can appreciate them, but it's pretty hard to sell a low res pic.
