Fabuloso! I love the dogs and the cacti, but they are all great. Been trying to improve my own skills, been reading a ton of books (especially like the Brian Peterson series), but you either have it or you don’t. And me thinks you just might have it…

A big part of photography isn’t about taking perfect photo after perfect photo but about being able to recognize a good image, a poor image and a great image. I’m not a good photographer and after a sad incident involving the sidewalk I don’t even have decent equipment any more but I do have the skill to recognize good vs. great images when I see them and that is why I was a curator of a gallery for 3 years. When you can recognize quality it doesn’t matter if you’ve taken 80 photos to get one worth framing. Keep it up!

Your blog is one my favourites – the writing is always good, often thought-provoking, and the photos… total eye-candy! So I would like to ask where you would suggest a very average photographer with a decent digital camera could go to start improving her skills – I’d like to do a better job of recording what goes on around me, especially my kids, before they’ve grown up completely!

Congrats on the explore-y goodness! It’s such a testament to both your natural talent and the progress you’ve made over the last few years.

I definitely understand about taking most of your pics on trips (although I love the one up there from when you were visiting me!). Even if you didn’t complete the YIP, I think it’s good practice to take a second look and your usual surroundings for inspiration.

I’ll be excited to see the photos you choose and the changes to the house next time I’m there! xoxo.

I have long admired your photography, Lolly! I swear, I want to favorite pretty much all of them in Flickr. Congratulations on getting your photos the recognition they deserve in Explore!

I am so excited about being able to expand my photography abilities with my new DSLR this year….we’ll see where it takes me!
