Digital BW, The Print

"The best 
critique I've ever got (most hard hitting) has been from 
photographers who consider themselves printers. I don't know why that 
is. Maybe someone here can explain the reason."

 

Walker it could very well be that we, printers that are also picture takers,
understand the entire statement; both the act of capture by a sensor or film
and by the art of placing it on the receiving medium. And I suspect that you
would also appreciate this critique more knowing that the person sharing
their views understands the totality of the process. 

 

As for the difficult art.   I took a quick look at the photos. Nothing to
get one's short in a wad about there. I thought that there were some nice
compositions and some "so what" it has been done before better.  I don't
really care if the person contributes some, more or a lot. I could easily
have blown it off no matter what. Listening to difficult music is not so
much fun or enjoyable and neither is looking at difficult art. You are not
required to do so. Is it noise or art?

Here's a long-one. Didn't think I would end up writing this much. 
Jeez. Now I'm getting flutters in my stomach as I'm get ready to hit 
send . . .
