I was reminded of
a larger than life character that was often very vocal
on this list. A man with more than the kind of ego it
takes to survive in this business. I was just on his
website and again, very impressed with the imagery.
May the road rise up to meet brother Jan.
I once had the opportunity to address the South African
Institute of Professional Photographers. An audience of
around 150. I asked them: "Who here believes he's the
best photographer in this room?"
About 100 people raised their hands.
I said "That's impossible... I'm the best photographer
in this room!"
But in many ways they were all correct. You have to
believe in yourself to continue to go out there and sell
your work.

I read almost all comments, but don’t comment
myself; I think that is akin to laziness on my
part{:->

Have you ever wished you could tell your
childhood self a thing or two about growing up?
Would the knowledge you know now have saved you
from learning things the hard way?

I have been on the list
for years and I remember many of the things
you mention. Mostly I study the submissions
and comments so I can learn.
A couple weeks ago I submitted a photo to
the gallery. I never saw a comment on any
of the submissions that week.
I hope that this list doesn't go away as the
EOS list out of the Netherlands has.

I was thinking about the days when
the list was very active with much comment and
discussion. So, I am wondering how many
current members were here for the sometimes
heated discussions on FIDO, DIDO etc. ?
Refresher: talk about photographer "reveal"
and formats, definitions and terminology.
Much of which is still basically unresolved.
