NYIP Feedback

I am really glad to receive the feedback, particularly on this outdoor shade photo. It seems this portrait of beautiful Kayo made impact for the NYIP instructor. The instructor quoted Pulizer winning photographer,

“When you are taking pictures,  you just don’t want to take pictures what show the situation, you want to take pictures which show how it feels like to be there”

If I can be successful in showing audience the mood of the situation or my connection to the subject, then, taking photographs is the thing I want to do.

Marking the Way

Saito Hisao’s article “Marking the Way” in latest Yokohama Seasider moved me. The people I’ve met in Dark Room Intl. never seize to surprise and humble me. Like Mr. Saito said in his article, some of us beginner photographers are lost, and some don’t even see that they are lost. Myself I know certainly how lost I am, so I think in that sense I’m lucky; I know I’m standing somewhere, but don’t quite know where, and that’s really terrible, huge problem for me.
I certainly, deeply hope that instructors in NYIP are honest and make their best effort to show me my location, like a GPS satellite. I can draw my own roadmap but in order to do that, I need to know my coordinates.
