Digital BW, The Print

One bad thing about critiques. There are several VERY experienced and professional photographers on these lists. If I were a beginner, I would not want to criticize one with 30 or more years of photo experience with negative comments about his print, on the other hand, I would appreciate a critique.

If someone gives you a penny for your thoughts, and you throw your 2 cents in, what happens to the other penny?

I think that alot of us on the list don't actually get to see others works off of inkjet printers. I am lucky to have attended the first San Francisco Bay Area meeting of like minded photographers using inkjets. The photos presented were very impressive and inspiring. We barely had time to discuss each persons work flow etc.So the more I can see the more I can learn -- for me at this point it's more about learning than judging. Not to say that critiquing does not have value -- it clearly does. I personally would think twice about entering an exchange if I knew that my work was going to be critiqued and that that was part of the exchange, but that's just me.

I must honestly tell you that I love to participate in print exchanges however with over 30 years experience as a photographer and a designer I know what I like and don't like.
