The week 1 critique just wrapped up. I tuned into the live broadcast on Vokle but discovered I didn’t really need to. In addition to the live show Don, head guy in charge of Project52, breezed through all of the submissions on the assignments flickr thread and did an audio critique of each vision statement. Not of the pictures though, which bummed me a bit because I was proud of my shot! I’m glad to know I can miss a live show and still manage to get the info I need as I’ll be attending a SmugMug meet up group next Thursday.

My critique consisted of cutting down my vision statement to simply “I tell the story of the day” or even shorter, “I tell stories”. Ehhhh, I think every photo tells a story in some way, so I don’t see that as necessarily a guiding light when I get lost on my path to greatness. I could have left out the second sentence, about capturing the experiences and hobbies I enjoy, though that’s what I enjoy shooting the most at the moment, “I capture a moment that others don’t get to see, in a way that those who were there did not see” is important to me. That really describes the way I try to shoot.

‘Til next time.
