I remember about a year ago when I was "Granted" on one of my early PAWs. I really panicked. But not for long, and as the feedback kept coming in I found myself shooting more and more, and now my stuff is hanging in a local gallery and I sold the first shot of my pro career just this week. It never would have happened if I hadn't begun to learn "It's a great shot, BUT..." I am deeply grateful to Ted, B.D. and the many others who offered the criticism I needed to really learn from my PAW 2001.
