- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
12 months ago I was out and about with my camera nearly every other day and I was all about improving technic and what not, this period coincided with two fundamental things I believe.
1, I was unemployed and 2, I wanted to get into the top tier of my photography club, so I had time on my hands and I had motivation. This year however I have a job and I am in the top tier, so called, of the photo club. Yes I have less time to do thing but really my motivation is gone, I quickly discovered that the same people win internal competitions no matter what, unless there is an external judge, this is not a malicious thing it just seems that members have been inculcated with a bias towards a certain genre or subject matter.
In any event the club thing is only spilt milk but I can't find the motivation to photograph anymore or to even substantially up my game a blow the rest of them out of the water.
