Jack & Jill

[Jan Faul <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow! How is it to live with your ego John? 

I am thrilled so much good stuff has come my way no matter how it got in my presence and for you to believe anything else is folly. If ya’ll have so many great experiences to tell others about why aren’t you telling us? A lot of photography is dead boring and I have probably spent 10+ years waiting for various things including ’the light’ although in hindsight it has mostly been people. 

I’m sure you think I’m bragging, but that’s difficult for me to see, sitting here in my wheelchair wishing I still had two feet.

You already know the answer to that.  There are two folks on this list who invariably respond with an endless catalog of their professional accomplishments, awards, gallery installations, permanent collections, close proximity to all sorts of famous people,  ad nauseam, and then launch into sarcastic, angry comments about the OTHER photographers they've encountered on their path to permanent transcendent glory.  You'd think that they'd be HAPPY at how much good stuff that has come their way, but no, they feel compelled to repeatedly remind US that we are not in their league, never will be in their league, so maybe we should all depart this list because none of us is TRULY a shooter.  Like they are.

Right.  As someone (obviously really really famous ;-) ) said, "The harder I work, the luckier I get."

But I don't see why the issue came up of whether someone is or is not a nice person.  Talk about someone's work, offer opinions about the work, but unless the work is somehow related to the photographer's personal behavior, why inject something like that here?

I don't dislike her work.  I just dislike her.   

Jan as you know also opportunities can be made to happen.   Annie wasn't in the right place at the right time by accident.  She was in the right place because have happenstance not luck.   People need to be aware that you have to go hunt the opportunity and take the time to be in the space.  Whether that space takes off is a whole other story.
