Great advice Lucy. We are created for community and the size and shape of that engagement will vary. Your willingness to support to help artists ( and photographers are artists) is wonderful. Truly desiring to serve others, even in a commercial sense, is what makes the world special despite the storms that rage. Well done.
Thank you so much for these kind and encouraging words! I really appreciate every person who reads or watches and I feel so lucky that so many photographers have trusted me to review their work. Have a beautiful day :)
So many things. Let’s start with this: two weekends ago, inspired by you and Ali O’Keefe I bought a four megapixel digicam at an estate sale for $7.50. My thing, if I have a thing, is architectural photography. (Incidentally I only considered if I had a thing after reading your “realistically going pro” piece.) If there is one type of photography you are absolutely, positively not supposed to use a four megapixel digicam for it is architectural photography. In fact in an Architectural Photography book I am reading says as much, almost verbatim. But I took a picture of a building with my 2001 Olympus D-40 Zoom anyways, and posted it to my Foto. And of course, it became my most liked photo and a bunch of architectural photography people started following me. Thank you for keeping it real and for your provocative style that keeps things fresh.

Love this!
Would you be interested in either being a speaker or photo critic for our small Photo Club in the US? Virtually, of course.
I sent you a note recently but this topic seems in line with what I reached out to you about.
So much of this advice also applies to other creators (I kept thinking of writers like myself), and what you wrote just needed to be said. Thank you.
