Don't Be Scared!!

Hey guys - I heard through a little birdie that some of you are scared to present your projects to the public. No need to be (easier said than done right?). You all have some really great work and I know you are all still working on the project so I'm sure more is to come. Mr. Kirsch is right, all artists have to publicly present their work at some time (alot of times) during their career. Whether it's at an exhibit or to a gallery owner etc. it just has to be done. The thing to remember is you're taking photos for yourself. Sure, not everyone's going to like your stuff, but who cares! If you're taking the images that you feel strongly about then they are a success. I can't tell you how often I've entered a photo in a juried art exhibit or contest or whatever and it's been rejected numerous times. And then, magically it'll get accepted to something. Art is subjective we all know that. Just go with your gut and don't worry what others think. Life's too short! You'll all do great on the presentations. We'll practice Friday and then practice again next Wednesday and you'll all be pros!
