Jay Mather comments on What is a photographer's personal style?

Your analysis of photographic style(s) is the most articulate and definitive description I have ever read. You describe what I have thought about in regards to my own style for years, I will quote you regularly.

stumbled across your site not at stumble upon but at squarespace; i've built a few websites for folks in squarespace; this site completely shifted my current emotional paradigm; i feel uneasy now like life is passing me by due to self-inflicted setbacks; i linked to some sites in your network and was simply blown away by the energy and creativity displayed, and honestly by how poor i felt when i experienced them; but i am still alive so i still have a shot and it won't hurt aiming at michaelddavis; thanks; really nice work!

Shaun M. comments on Can you edit your own photography?

Photo editing may give a better looks on photos but for own photography, I think it is a total destruction of own idea and presentation. In a photographers view as I may say, the value of a certain photo lies on its distinct quality. The initial results of the captivation of the subject and the scene shows it utmost value. The essence that lies beyond the art is that of the initial results thus, the editing gives another value that is made different to the original photo.

I love this series on your blog. The photos are great and the education even better. For the first time I actually picked out the things you talked about before I read them. At least with the first photo. I almost immediately placed the oval over the image. I missed the moment of the index finger. Many thanks.
