Well I did guffaw when the chimpanzee fooled the experts all those years ago. But perhaps the lesson there is that all primates enjoy a sense of balance and color?
We most of us if not all, can only learn by seeing. I frequently see someone else's piece and think wow how'd they do that. I must have a go. I have though stopped berating myself for not making stuff that looks like others. I realise I have my own voice and I need to listen to it. That's the thing. We might be retouching others photos, but what comes out is something of our own. There are little bits of me in what I produce. Little bits of what I've experienced in life, what I've felt and tasted and suffered and loved. That's teh best part of growing older - so much to put into what we do.
Post your stuff, tell yourself why you did it and how. Someone else is waiting to read that story with you.
