Kostas, Good points. Just over a year ago I came in contact with a fellow photographer who was just starting her own company. We both photograph digitally and have studios in our homes. She, however, was wanting to learn how to beef up her business and I was looking for someone I could visit, discuss, critique with. Over the past year we have become very good friends and make a point of getting together regularly to share new work, new ideas and to discuss what goes well and what doesn't in our businesses. Having people to bounce ideas off in this field is a very, very good thing. Finding someone with whom you are comfortable doing that can be a bit tricky but is very worth the work!

And there is nothing more ego-boosting than being in the darkroom helping two beautifull women to develop their first B&W film! LOL > > Honestly and Seriously now, what seems we have forgotten is that interaction boosts creativity. Just seeing anotherone's work or talking about it breeds new things. And that cannot happen around a computer. Can it? > > Happy new year to you all! Kostas > ====================================================== > so... no matter what, CHEER UP MY FRIENDS!
