I got the loveliest note from someone I don’t know this afternoon, her name is Susan Bollock, and I wanted to share it with you. She deserves that and more.
“I am not a photographer, but I now pay much closer attention to the beauty of all flowers. Your photos have been so powerful and inspired me.” – Susan Bollock.
Susan represents the best of social media and our ability to talk to each other. She is wrong about one thing; she is a photographer, and now officially a published photographer, and her flower photo is just as good as mine.
I am touched by the idea that my photos have inspired her. And my ego and I will admit I love getting compliments on my flower photos. They mean a lot to me.
The thing about photography that I love is that it is so democratic – you don’t need an agent, a gallery owner, a publisher, or a critic to buy a camera and take a photo.
These days all you need is a half-decent smartphone.
And thanks again, Susan; you are the best at social media. Keep on taking those photos; you’ve got the magic.
