Welcome again Tom!
I am happy you joined us and like the human "grit and dust" of your pictures.
There is so much we can learn from each other. I ask questions on author's intent, background, the what and the how of photography and then what is needed for reception. Don't however be intimidated! Who says I'm right?
Please make this place your home. The route you have chosen to express yourself is a good one. I would commend to you Ben Lifson's work and seek his opinion too as you progress.
I look forward to seeing an exhibition of your work and will be delighted to personally visit!
You are fortunate to have a guy like Gary to shoot with. I'm impressed by his work.
Asher
