I want it to be known that no one is going to be pushed aside here. One thing John and I strive for here, is the belief that everyone, regardless of experience, has something to say and that everyone is or at least has potential to be a good photographer.

The hard part is getting the more experienced people to comment on the newer people and to get the newer people to comment on other people's work and for them not to take comments on their work too personally.

I really think that in order to have some credibility here, you need to post work of your own and then comment on others. This whole "critique thing" is a relationship. There a lot of you out there, whose opinion matters a lot to me, and I hope that some of you feel the same about me. It is because we have a relationship through photography..

These guidelines that John and I have presented are a combination of where we feel the community is and where we'd like to see it go. We are very much open to changing them if they are not consistent with where the community is.
