Interesting subject...
Before coming here I had my doubts whether or not I could even identify myself as a photographer. The thing is anyone who points and clicks the shutter is a photographer. So I fit right in
In the short time we have been here I have begun to notice some of the things I never would have.
My audience is usually just my family and friends and in that context they love them. Some of you might not get them, and for me my great photos would never cut the mustard in a critique. Someone would find the flaws. Thats where the tough skin comes into play. I'm still working on that aspect since I can only get better if I listen to what everyone has to say.
