I received a back handed compliment from a friend of mine. She said I need to work on the subjects of my pictures. She is the type of person who does not email you back for a whole month so I have zero chance of asking back: “what do you mean?!”.
Never the less I will try to get a more useful feedback out of her but like I said she will probably have an excuse for not writing back:
1. She is busy.
2. She can only type with two fingers.
3. She does not have Internet at her home.
Could You help me with your opinion please? Do you think I should take more pictures that show…. (I made categories! HAHA)
City (island) pictures.
For example: this is a shot of Bangkok.
Food/drinks.
Ena (http://enabalista.com/) helped me pick out this restaurant called Roast. I had an espresso crepe cake.
Daddy – baby pictures.
Preferably with something girly in the background…
Mommy – baby pictures.
That is Zoárd and I in the morning before breakfast…
Pictures of people.
OTHER people… HAHA
Pictures that show a bit of the cultural surroundings.
Spirit house to keep away the bad spirits from the shopping mall.
A combination of all of them! Sorry if that means more work haha.. but you take really great pictures!
To be honest I was OK with the selection of pictures I take but since my friend pointed out that I need to be “more interesting” I thought it is best to listen to her feedback. Maybe I should just listen to You! HAHA
But more variety is more interesting! It’s your blog, do what makes you happy 🙂
True. Very true!
How can one pick from so many great categories? Your boy is to DIE for, so cute and I’m so happy for you. How did you pick his name? I really love it, so beautiful and unique. I think you should pick any picture you believe is beautiful. They always say in photography class…a great photo is captivatingly interesting and makes the audience ask questions and evoke curiosity!
You took classes in photography???
You are not the first to ask about Zoárd’s name today. May I answer your question in a blog post? 😉
Absolutely! Can’t wait to read it. And yes I have been, I really do love it. I am taking classes almost everyday in Costa Rica! You should too if you have time;) but everything is online nowadays to teach yourself
🙂
I hope your “friend” never sees the pics on my blog 🙂
I think your pictures just need to go with your post…nothing specific…whatever you think belongs in your post…
gotta love those friends with their “constructive criticism”
I agree with you that people just love to give out criticism even with a big smile thinking it is candy they are handing over. At the same time, I want to have open ears to those who are outsiders because their opinion is more objective than mine. 🙂
