Johnston Mike-- Absolutely great post. I think you were correct in every way. I think one problem we photographers have is the rush to judgement when we look at photographs. We need to take more time and consider (before any judgement) what is really in the photograph and what the photographer might have intended. Look, absorb, and learn--then feel free to make judgements. Also, by putting work up around you you can learn is ways that are different than just leafing through. Do they begin to stand the test of time. Another way of evaluating (for me and my work) is to put it away for awhile and then come back to it and see if you still are moved by it and is it still fresh and exciting. Thanks for so much time and thought. Regards, Alan Brown (a--dare I say it on this list--photography teacher in an "art" department in a university. :)
