Mr. Farrar,(posted 8773 days ago)thanks for taking the time to go and look at my work. thank you also for the praise. it seems that you look at what i do a bit closer to my own vision than most old-school photographers. like i have said before, i guess i'm an artist first, as i go by my vision and inspiration, rather than by the accepted structures of the mainstream photo world. I just choose photography as a medium to express what i see. alas, i am going to tidy up the site a bit, there is something to be said for at least the hint of order. but probably not go as far as to satisfy the majority of my peers. it fills my heart with joy to read a critique like yours, this is the kind of response i generally get, but from john q public, not from adams, walker, etc clones. structure to me is to predictable, boring, yeah, you get good photographs, but it doesn't blow me away to take a perfect pic of a perfect subject with perfect light and composition. i guess a lot of the comments prior to yours will have to be taken into consideration in order to facilitate an accepted entrance into the world of gallery owners and the public shows. that won't stop me from following my heart though, and that to me is what art is all about.
thanks for your thoughts,
sincerely, john gadsby
