Photography Fan

Once in a while, a true lover of photography will take that extra step and tell me that they love "my eye" for capturing life. This happened to me out of the blue over the weekend. I wasn't home as I was downtown Sacramento picking up my framed works from the Doiron Gallery which closed it's doors on May 15th.

It turned out that this gentleman was an Oregonian passing through Auburn and he had stopped in to the Dessert Place and saw my Bodie Ghost Town Series. He said he proceeded to tell me he thought I definitely had the 'eye'!! He too was a photographer and I have to say that photographers aren't really fans of other photographers. Oh yeah, they might have their photography predecessor heroes long passed on that they yearn to emulate, but we don't buy other photographers works...unless they are absolutely fantabulous! I've done that only once so far. So thank you Mister Oregonian for building me up, making my day, providing encouragement to carry on knowing someone out there truly appreciates my art works!
