Great entry. I don't know who that Nobody or Everyone person is though.

There are no answers that are totally correct, ever; and answers only create more questions. A photograph should prompt good questions, even a bad photo will prompt the question Why?

the 80/20 rule applies to everything in life....my man Sammy-X has also said "one man's art is another man's junk"...

Wise words under that cover!

It seemed to me no aspiring phographer really cared what everyone liked. I've been wondering who was to blame (besides myself) for all the bad shots that get posted.

Aperture is one of my favorite photo publications.
Too bad my subscription expired years ago...

Wow....1st edition? You really do have all the goodies,P.
And I like the forword. So true...when making an image,we can't please everyone,just ourselves.
