and some I think are just so so people love."
I don't find that "strange" at all, more the norm ; )
Many times there's a higher probability of 'agreement' the longer you
wait before posting... having some perspective on your own work.
Last night I was watching a documentary about photographers
(including Magnum photographer W. Eugene Smith) who worked
the invasion of Okinawa (75 years ago). He knew that most of his
images would not get past the censors nor be seen by the public for
decades... in part it goes back to why and for whom we photograph...
It's possible to be 'tricked' by the emotion of the moment ; )
