Ah, family... My father doesn't give much comment, other than: "I don't know anything about artistic photography", which means that he doesn't see much in my pictures. He likes beautiful landscapes, flowers and portraits. But he's colour blind... My sister is not very interested, and doesn't understand why someone would want to show off his personal pictures on the Internet. My brother, that's something else: he was a gifted photographer for more than 20 years, before he got paralysed on his right side... he's my best and toughest critic, and I value his comments very highly. If he likes it, I know it must be good... An example: this summer I went shooting the sunrise on the French coast, and I showed him all my pictures (about 180). He found 3 or 4 images that were 'relatively good'... And there are more than 20 images from that shoot in my gallery here on RR... Lately he always keeps saying: "Your work is good, but... where are the people in your images? You should do more people photography, like before." Maybe he has a point there...
