hi there, stumbled upon this by accident but good to find a local resource. I’m 36, been shooting for many years but still lots to learn. Oh and having depressive bouts approaching the peoples photography show. My yearly output of acceptable work causes me grief as the end of august nears. ah well – it’s a hobby after all. john
Hobby? You’re in the wrong place for that :) More like an obsession around here!
Welcome to the forum John. Plenty of others around here have the same depressive bouts about their photography, they just don’t need a “People’s Photography” to cause it :), but at least the group therapy is free :D
Hi and welcome John. Sometimes I think we are our own worst critics…. we see faults that others probably would never see..so I wouldn’t worry too much…we are all..mostly…amateurs..sometimes I think we forget that :D
At the end of the day…most of us do this for the sheer joy of it..even if, like Dave says, we are a bunch of obsessives…hehe!! :wink:
My therapist says this isn’t obsessive. He says there isn’t a catagory for it yet.
Welcome Sevenj. ‘tiz a big black hole you stumbled into alight. Many a frightning night I’ve spent creeping around, frightened, not knowing what topic would arise and who’d comment. Have you met Pete yet? :wink:
