Sue:

 

Thank you. At the moment I'm traveling about Florida with my M9, Fuji
X-Pro1, GF2, Canon 40D, with long lenses, and spending time at Punta Gorda
with a friend and co-author. I'm temporarily disconnected from the LUG for
two weeks. I think what we have here is a stick of conceptual/aesthetic
dynamite without a spark, and your expressed interest is just the spark we
need. I want to learn what others, more proficient at the art and science of
photography than I am. We're talking about the sort of feedback that would
help me most. As you suggest, one's "intension" in the moment admits to
degrees/levels ranging from fully unconscious (KISS Spontaneity) to fully
conscious (PLANED Spontaneity), with degrees of ease when it comes to
verbalizing and sharing that moment with ourselves and others. In any case,
I suspect both KISS Spontaneity and PLANED Spontaneity can be enriched by
soliciting feedback from others aware of both our intention and result. I'll
be shooting in Florida and thinking more about all this. May I suggest you
go first and thanks! Dr. Dr. Leon Pomeroy, Northern Virginia, USA

"I would welcome more information from photographers about their intent and
feedback regarding how well they succeeded, suggestions for improving if
they missed the mark, etc. I also realize some photos don't have a lot of
intention behind them - people sometimes just record something interesting
and share that. I so some of both.

 

I'm willing to share some photos I made with intent and risk being
vulnerable to feedback that I failed in order to improve my photographic
communication skills. Dr. Pomeroy, do you want to go first, or shall I? :D
