inspiring, and depressing.... []

[greggf]

Colin....why depressing??

[Colin]

Not truly depressing....


I'm haphazardly going through and organizing my files, and one thing I notice is that I actually am getting better at this. More consistently decent shots, more often 'good' shots. Far less utterly crappy shots.


However, since seeing a lot of the work put up on this forum, it makes it very clear that there's a LOT to learn. Now, this isn't entirely a depressing thing, as it's an opportunity to expand, grow, etc. That really is a good thing. OTOH, it dawns on me, "Damn, I've just begun to really dig into this."


So, I didn't mean it in a bad way, but rather a compliment. Truly terrific images. I'll dig around and see if I can pony up a contribution of my own, though it's kind of hard to follow THAT. (yes, that was yelling) []

Okay, Colin. Here is something a little easier to follow []
