I will say that a major reason that my photography sucks a lot less than it otherwise would have is the PDML, specifically reading people’s critique of each others work the first few years that I was active on the list.

Having people who will tell you when your work sucks is very valuable, but not nearly as valuable as having them tell you why, and how to make it suck less.

No sucks in that lot Larry, and a good write-up: Now I can say I know an exhibited photographer!

I have met several times and interacted with not only Larry but Al Weber, Martha Cazaneve, Jim Collum, and Stephen Johnson (to name a few) as well as Ann Pike and Sandra Vrooman, all thoroughly exhibited. They have all propelled me toward photography and away from mere picture taking.
