You are so right, Bill.
But not everyone wants their work judged, critiqued ... or even viewed. Of
the members of Ph*to.net or Fl*kr, I wonder what small percentage actually
post work for comment? I have learned a lot from exhibiting my own work
occasionally in the past and I hope to do much more in the future, but I've
realized that photography is for many people, very personal.

Subject: [OM] OK, Fidel, let's line them up and shoot them down . . .
One of the things I've always encouraged others to do on this list is to get
their work out in front of others. This week is one of those weeks for me.
I'll have 6 images in three different venues and another which won't be
trotted out in front of someone yet, however is cued up for my entry in the
Krappy
Kamera competition early next year. Five of the six images are either OM or
e-1 images, the sixth is a pinhole image printed on vellum with a
platinum/palladium process. Yes, it is pretty cool. I also currently have
three images
hanging in a juried exhibit in the area of the state to which I will be
moving in about a year or so.
I couple of things I've learned from going public with my work:
Sometimes the things that speak to me, speak to others.
Others have interesting ways of seeing and expressing that help me learn and
grow.
When I remain committed to showing/competing, my work has a life of its own,
the expression of which continues to feed and nurture me.
So, if this sounds interesting to you (or maybe just not very frightening),
find venues to show you work. It can be a gift both to you and to others.
