Are we really a better photographers?

2009.11.03

There are some subjects that I keep returning to year after year and some how I come away with new angles that I never thought of before. This is a result of personal and professional growth, the photographs I make present I could not have made before. These changes come out of more life experience and visual growth. What I mean by visual growth is that I spend a lot of time looking at other photographers work on the web both professionals and hobbyists, by doing this I hope to fine tune my own image making. If the last image we make is no better than one we have made in the past are we really a better photographers?

I do the same thing. I do wish I had more time and money to devote to my photography.I have always thought that you take amazing photos.

Good point. But I think the community is a great way of self-improving. Just gotta keep shootin' !

I agree with Mike.
And... you know, we are better than yesterday but worse than tomorrow!

Keep comparing, keep shooting.

The beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. How you feel about your work is from inside of you. As with ALL things in life-if you look with a critical eye there's always room for improvement. I believe this is a beautiful photo.

I agree, you are! I'm learning a lot from you guys and now know other ways of looking at a subject to make it unique...still dreaming on new equipment but until I get that I'm learning more of the better ways to use what I have :-)

this is a beautiful shot. but somehow, there are many much earlier shots of yours that i believe are much more beautiful.
... so what? you may ask.
well, there's always ups and downs in photography too, as is in life. we could have been better yesterday after so many worse days and tomorrow too will not promise to make us better. but, keep improving we have to. i just enjoy it... shoot, shoot and keep shooting.
