Artist's Comments

Lately I've been feeling like my photography is not my own anymore. My professor has completely opposite tastes from me when it comes to photography and lets us all know it. Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to adjust my style to fit his needs, and that's not what I want to do.

I like soft focus and things that are abstract, things that are kind of painterly, so this is just my reminder to myself to stick with what I love

It's pine tree needles from a pine tree in my backyard, textures by ~Lady-Dementia-Stock

oh, I'm sorry to hear about your feelings. That sort of thing can be so hurtful, especially when it is something that you love as much as I know that you love your photography, and what's more, what might not appeal to your professor is something that others may/will find to be just beautiful. The softness of this image is something that I've come to associate with the bulk of your work. The eye that you use to capture such a simple thing, be it this pine needle or a flower or even a droplet of water is something that still amazes me whenever I see your work.

The bottom line, IMO, is to do what you have to do, maybe, but don't lose that which makes your work shine, and always remember that you do have fans, me being one of them!!

Absolutely all the best to you!!! :hug:

aw thanks Sue! yeah it's getting kind of hard which is why I absolutely can not wait to graduate. I'm tired of people telling me what my photography should look like. But I'm hanging in there, I'll be ok!

I definitely like soft images like this, at least that's the one good thing that's come out of school is that I really do think that I have discovered myself and my style as a photographer. Whether or not my professor likes it! Most of my classmates like my work though so that makes me happy :)

I'm so glad that you like my work too, it means a lot to me! I hope that things on your end have been getting better as well *hug*

I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread carefully because you tread on my dreams...

I am a survivor; don't worry about me! I hope that I can purchase some of your images later on (when the economy picks up). I'm just awed by the love and skill that is always ALWAYS evident in your work!!!
