A BUG'S POINT OF VIEW?

Please Note: "No bugs were harmed in the making of this photo." ;-)

Okay, on a more serious note, I just want to say THANKS so much for
all the kind words and supportive messages you've sent on and off
Flickr regarding my recent bout of uncertainty. I want to catch up on
your 'streams and respond to your messages individually. Especially
those of you who went out of your way to be soooo wonderfully nice. I
really, really appreciate it. But, I hope you'll give me some time to
respond. I *will* catch up. I want to.

On photography & art: Other than Flickr friends' feedback, one of the
most comforting messages I got was from my husband who said something
like - "You're an artiste. You're bound to blur the lines between
what's acceptable and what's not. If you didn't push boundaries a
bit, you won't be creative enough."

It's amazing what simple words can do.

In any case, thanks again. Looking forward to catching up with you.

	GA_from_WA says: Shai , you are indeed an artist and your craft is making beautiful images .. beautiful .. is of course subjective and thats were all of the ambiguity about what is tasteful and not comes in .. but do you think the images you make are !! of course you do , thats why you struggle and question and getstate and deliver .. because the images are beauty .. The world has too little of it .. dont bother second guessing , just post beauty .. and of course keep the project up .. if an image is questionable . post a NOTE , keep the image and let it solve itself . You are really brave and smart and talented .. let it shine .. Posted 2 weeks ago. ( permalink )
	manbok says: Nice perspective.. Shai you know the saying.. Behind every good man is a good woman.. but it also can be true of the reverse :) and I am saying that without any hint of bias... He is totally right though, art is an expression of creativity and you are indeed one wonderfuly creative artist.. Posted 2 weeks ago. ( permalink )
