So honored sometimes

Sometimes you really get honored when someone asks you to do something. Take for instance what happened just recently. I was asked to judge photo at a monthly photo forum, the Cathay Camera club. Its a rather old camera club, heck, I remember hearing about it when I was in high school. And I got to say it was quite a nice experience and bubbled up some old memories of my art school days. I love talk about photography. Its not about cameras or techniques, I think most people can take good pictures, but making great pictures takes a lifetime. My critique was based on the way I used to critique in art school, using the formal method developed by Clement Greenberg (amongst others during the abstract expressionism period).

To make a long story short it was fun. I miss critiquing other peoples work. Being critical about your own stuff is one thing but seeing others makes you objectively minded, thereby makes you thing about your own work better. does that make sense.
