An interesting read .. and I can’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚t disagree with his judgment of ’‚’‚…‚’‚¹¦‚“critics’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚ ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦ they can and often do stifle an artists growth ..

That said I have a qualm with the author ... in regards to what his opinion of the internet seems to be


I don’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚t feel that he has given sufficient due to the internet’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚s ability to accelerate an aspiring photographers skill set rapidly ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦ in my estimation the knowledge that can be gained from positive feedback / constructive criticisms ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦ from such a vast array of fellow photographers from around the globe .. That only the internet can provide ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦ is well worth having to deal with the occasional unpleasant type of bullies / critics floating around cyberspace that seek only to tear apart another’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚s work ..

Be it an art exhibit, the theater, a sports event or even your work place.. There have always been and likely always will be a small number of people with caustic opinions.. that are negative by nature and seek opportunities to be harsh critics of nearly everything ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦

Imho .. the internet hasn’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚t created them ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦ it’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚s simply given them a larger audience ..

so I say .. In this day of the internet ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦ the age old axioms .. ’‚’‚…‚’‚¹¦‚“consider the source’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚ and ’‚’‚…‚’‚¹¦‚“take it with a grain of salt’‚’‚…‚’‚…¾‚ have never been truer ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦
