follow site I read Seth Godin’s words this weekend, and thought, “Oh yes, spot on.” This weekend I’ve been working non-stop on a photography project – a project that means a great deal to me on a personal level. It is my hope that the portfolio I’m assembling will also speak to other people. But what really matters, has already taken place. My photographs speak to me, make meaning, explain life.

https://detoxofcolorado.com/referring-professionals/ What other people think is interesting, and I am always curious to hear what people truly think about a photograph I take and process. But another person’s opinion won’t change my thoughts. I’ve taken the photo, chosen it, looked at it carefully, even listened to it, and  – this is the biggest discovery – I’ve heard the photo speak to me with love.

https://thepinkyproject.com/in-the-media/ It took time, and some learning, but finally, I’ve discovered my opinion about my photograph is the most important opinion. Not to say I don’t want to know what others think. I do, but with a caveat.

    Seth Godin is a wise man! If you didn’t feel your art, if you didn’t hear it speak to you, then neither would anyone else! It has to begin with you. And it does! 🙂

  4. First: Lovely photo. I like the sharp orange against the blurred pink.
    Second: Interesting quote. How does one know if what I’ve made is worth making?

  5. Wonderful photo, Bo!
