Aloha,
I'm working today, I'm working everyday. Maybe I will sell something today maybe I won't, chances are good that I will. I sell pieces almost everyday.
Most likely I won't sell a piece to a photographer, but sometimes I do. I don't create for other peoples approval especially people that don't like Blue, I like blue, I guess it shows up in my work. I make no illusions to my clients that my work is untouched.
You can cry bloody murder about what another photographer does, label it, bash it and moan about someones aesthetic choices or the integrity of their work, Its fine art Photography, so you can either take something away from it or not. I'm happy that people like my work and buy my work, I try not to let what other people say influence my vision, I am luck, people seem to like what I like doing, so it works.
The jpg file of the El Salto I posted last time was slightly more blue, than the actual image, I have my monitor set with my printing profile on most of the time so that might have caused it to be slightly more blue than it is in the print, but I used grads and a big stopper on the shot, and that can give some shots a color tint that gets pretty hard to shake, and keep other color elements in a balance as I like, but I do like blue so I worked towards that, I think gives the piece a more intimate feel.
But then again I like blue and push it into my work whenever I feel it offers an additional emotional component to the image.
