Re: A difference of Opinion

[Lea Murphy <lea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of the best critiques I ever received of my work happened at a Santa Fe workshop last summer with Keith Carter.

I had 15-20 or so images spread out on the table. Keith shuffled them around, selected four and said, "Why aren't you doing more work like this?"

In that moment I saw my work as a total outsider sees it and it has profoundly impacted me ever since.

Indeed. If you are only getting good reviews, then you are asking the
wrong people.

There is also a tendency for some photographers who've worked for many,
many years to want to rest on their laurels, and not want to get any
feedback other than laudatory.

Some "bad" reviews I had have helped me improve my ideas.  So bad can  be

good.
