I am trying to understand but it's not in me, I guess. Maybe a lack of attention while I was growing up, I don't know. Warning! Dangerous and silly analogy approaching. "If a tree in a forest falls and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" I get some enjoyment out of taking a really nice photo. The same goes for my attempts at art or writing. Hardly any ever satisfy me completely. But I will admit to this: if art created by me is only seen by me, then is it art? (that's a funny question, I know.) Let me try again. Actors get a lot of money. So to professional athletes. But, having people smile, yell, weep, or otherwise affect them is a very nice feeling. I like it and I'll admit it. Even the overpaid professions I mentioned above like it. So, to me, creating the art is only part of the enjoyment. Having it appreciated is the other half. That's why I started this thread. Well, kind of.
