Reply To: So, am I doing Ok for a beginner?

wow I didn’t even bother to read everything else..what are you doing here? Shoot man! This is what photography is about…….more than anything photography should be soothing to the soul. So get out there and keep shooting…Again, opinions are like assholes everyone has them…..you take em or leave em. I had an editor at the LA Times pretty much rip my portfolio for my events shots, but thought my sports shots were OK….did I let that get me down? I thought I took some pretty good events shots, but when I thought about what she said I tried a different approach.she gave me great feedback……I keep on shooting, I don’t take it personal (it’s hard to do but you just gotta let it go)  and I really don’t care what other people think of it in the end…I shoot because I love photography period, I shoot for me.  If people are on board with me that’s great and if people aren’t well so be it!
