I'd suspect, richy, that there is a sizeable minority here, myself included, who'd readily agree with you (the parts of your post I chose to quote). As one who has been aesthetically obsessed for most of his life, I have found that the more intimately personal the (aesthetic) vein, the greater its universal appeal, if not sense...
I have also found, that the more alone I feel in my particular views and perceptions, the greater the surprise that there are others who share this particular predicament. Participation is the only way to savour our paradoxidal ways.
zeuszen-
I feel the same way. I'm new to the site and am only beginning to understand what is involved in a GOOD photograph. I find my Oil painting perceptions do not always apply. But I am learning. I guess there is a learning curve, right now I am on the way down. Possibly there will come a time when it goes up.
I’ve noticed that I get so involved in the idea of the challenge that I forget it has to be a perfect photograph. I’m not at the stage now to do too many comments. I put a big emphasis on the ideas and not enough on the quality. And both have to be met especially the quality in the shot.
I am in my own little world
