It was on my screen when I walked into the room I forgot what I was looking at. Its the first one #159324323. Took my breath away. One of the great nude studies I've ever seen any time anywhere I wish to hell I shot it myself. Would not be out of place in the collection of the MET or MOMA. It just shows to go ya when you just keep doing the work it all falls into place. When that number in your camera gets high enough I know yours has gotten quite high. Its like airplane people who fly airplanes they have to put their time in or they loose their license. They have to stay certified you have a minimum hours of flight time. Doing glamour photography a few rolls on the weekends will not cut it. Your stuff will look like cheesecake. When 99% of photographers who choose glamour or nude studies as their subject matter then tend to embarrass themselves 99% of the time. Its just tricky stuff. A bad glamour shot gets called names like "cheesy" and tacky and the feminists well call it worse and rightfully so. Women will hate you other photographers will look down on you. your are much safer and better off shooting trees and clouds or bums on the street. You've put your time in and your are producing quality work! No ones going to hold it against you that you are doing nudes when they look like this. Welcome to the club!
