Same with the images I saw on your website.
Have you made an exhibition so far ?
If not - work on one!
I believe your images are worth it.

Cheers

These images really express how it feels to be out in the rain (from stoic endurance to sheer delight).

Post by: michswiss on September 25, 2010, 07:59:37 am: I have several projects or themes I've been developing over the last couple of years. Some of them are most or less complete, or at least I have a depth of images to select from depending on use. I'll be in China for another half year or so and am planning on organising and categorising the keepers such that I have a coherent set of collections for presentation. What I have no idea about is how to reach into the gallery / competition / publishing community to get advice and insight.

I'll still be shooting as much as possible for fun and to fill in significant gaps where needed.

Thanks for the wonderful feedback.

Great examples of St. Photography and they wonderfully convey the feeling that must have been there on the St. in that pouring rain. Very fine work - well done.

Josh, would that be St Christopher, by any chance? You know, walking, travelling...

LuLa makes you think, doesn't it?

The shorthand's odd, I'll give you that. But if St. Christopher is working for me as an on-sider or fixer, it'd be nice if he introduced himself in some form to this agnostic so that we could team up more actively. There are a ton of images I'd love to get. A good conversation would be a plus as well.
