Me? I'm just yer average photographer. I love it when I get inspiration and I take good pictures, but I'm not the type of guy that has the ambition to try and make a go of it like many on this site.. like you yourself do. I admire your ambition.



I think that's the key for some of us - we just don't have the same drive or ambition. I am happy knowing that, and it makes me even happier for someone like Brad - who does have that drive and is seeing it work for him. Artyste - I hope you are happy with where you are, too.

Brad,
I have not read through this entire thread but I did read your complete post. I just want to say congratulations. Every ribbon was earned because you push yourself. I believe that is what this site is about. Not distributing ribbons but earning them and I believe you have earned them. You have a great attitude towards your passion of photography and I see more ribbons in your future. Don’t feel bad because you have done so well after all you didn’t vote yourself the ribbons, we did! I find your post inspirational because I thought I was trying hard, but I see [because of your post] I can try harder. I have some issues that I list in my profile that limits my ability to get some shots, but even with that I can try harder. Be proud of your accomplishments and I hope one day I to can improve as you have.
Thank you for taking the time to post you perspective. I believe it will help others [including myself] to push a little harder.
Scott W.

I thik Brads been very honest, You have to push the boundaries and your self. Perhaps some of us are more competitive than others. for others the ribbons don't really matter its just the compitition and pitting your last shot against the current andhoping that you have improved. Me in the last challenge 182place for macro, given the winners and my type of shot. I'm happy with that it puts me into the top third of entries and its the challenge of improvement for me that drives me. Not that I would say no to a ribbon mind.
