Hi, >>but when you've finished shooting you have to look at the picture >>dispassionately, and not let the way you felt at the time cloud your >>judgement about its value. Other viewers won't have experienced the >>thing as you did, so they won't be bringing that to their reading of >>the photograph - all they see is the finished goods. They don't care >>how you felt while you were taking them, or how difficult it was for >>you to get them.
> Agreed. This applies to all art, really. > It was Coleridge who first articulated this philosophy, wasn't it? Good question - I don't know.
