re: rejection

I did not get juried into a "gallery show" course. Congratulations to Bob
Adler though as he will be showing his stuff at the group show in March.

The thoughts of selling all my gears and take up... something else occurred
to me. But I figured I should just "pick up the pieces and soldier on,
soldier on"

I talked to the gallery owners and the instructor. They made it clear that
the format, and the content in my portfolio generally are OK, but the
printing and post processing need more "punch."

While I know people have different preferences on printing and
post-processing, I agree with their general assessment and more importantly,
this is a technicality and techniques I know I can tweak and improve. I
would be more concerned if the content fails. As an artist, it's sometimes
difficult to ascertain whether an image is a good image or whether one is
deluding oneself.

Techniques I can handle. After all, it's only in early Nov that I started
the digital negative contact printing.

More printing and full speed ahead.
