Hey I don't mind if people don't like it. Just don't let Tomoko know. I just though it odd that a person would call it pedestrian while their main body of work is Landscapes and sepia boats. For which there are zillions of as well (of not more). To me that was just a very odd comment. I go to this exact location probably a couple or more times a year. (cause NO PHOTO EVER has done this place justice). Every time I drive over the bridge I stop and I wait and I record that time. To each one's own. He I live with an award winning Japanese art director I live everyday being critiqued. I am guessing most people here have never had to do a Masters DEFENSE of a thesis. This is one paragraph from an article. I think it makes it point. Every critique is also a defense. To make invalid points is to ask for rebuttal to those points. One can not come out and say I don't like blue while wearing blue and driving a blue car. anyway here is the paragraph.
"You must expect, in some fashion, to be required to answer the crucial question "So what?" What has your research and writing accomplished, that may be of importance in your field? Professors will tell you that graduate students tend not to be bold enough, in making claims for what they have discovered or compiled, during the process of working on their thesis. If you don't express confidence about your findings in the thesis, your committee may develop their own doubts about the value of your work."
