Digital BW, The Print

Yes Steve,

That was an ignorant, arrogant, and disrespectful thing I said about
this man's work and, I completely and totally apologize for saying
something like that. There is no excuse for it and I feel really bad
about it. I was kind of hoping no one would read it again, but when
things go out on the web they can't be brought back.

The only reason I can think of that I would say something that
pathetic is that I've been too lazy for several years now to do any of
my own work and take it out into the world. So I was envious of
someone coming out of nowhere, from another discipline like
architecture and doing so well. I'll tell you one thing, it is one
hell of a lot easier to be a cyber critic and form opinions about
someone else's production and obvious love of craft than it is to get
off your ass and actually create something yourself on a weekly basis.
I've spent so many years printing work of other people that I've
forgotten why I ever became involved in this art form in the first
place. I hope I never say anything like that again. Mainly I just want
to keep my mouth shut and try to do something decent myself somehow.

I hope this thread can be discared as worthless trash where it belongs.
