"Like I said, that's a nice thought and it is true, but still, if that's all that matters, why bother with showing it to anyone? Why put it here?" Personally - I have put 2 images here in the gallery - both of them I'm mighty proud of... and both have had some good feedback I'll admit... but the feedback is not my sole motivation for posting those images. I post my images here so that maybe they will encourage someone else to try to do something similar - or maybe make someone smile - or just because I'm darned proud of them and want to share them with a very wide audience. Let's face it, this place is huge, and any work posted here has the chance of being seen by a heck of a lot of people... I have a private gallery that I post my images in - if you weant to see them, it's as simple as clicking on a link... if you don't then that is fine too... I'm not too bothered by whether my works are "popular" or my style is "pleasing" to everyone (or no-one) - I'm really into the creative process, and the way that it makes me feel. Yes - I do like comments on my work - good, bad, or indifferent - at least someone has taken the time to actually look at the image and maybe it has inspired them to say something, or just brought a smile to their face... and that, good people, is plenty for me...
