I think it is kind of funny… in general, it is much easier to be verbose about the things we do not like. (Hence all the complaint calls restaurant managers get, and so few compliments…LOL)
If I let the mean and unkind side of me come out, I’d be able to write a seriously sarcastic and snarky blog about all the bad photography that is out there. It’s much harder, I’m finding, to write about what it is that I *do* like. We know it when we see it, we can feel it, but to describe it is more elusive.
I know I like Lisa Russo’s blog. I like her candid and chatty style. I love the warmth of her photos, the interaction between her camera/her/her subjects. Her blog gives me the feeling that if she lived near me, we’d get together and have a glass of wine, and have a lot to chit chat about. Make sure you go past the first few posts. We all know this is a slower time of year, and there is lots of good stuff to dig into.
{and by the way, I love comments, so keep ‘em coming!}
