Artwork Is A Personal Journey

Over the years that I have written this blog, I have frequently noted other photographers and other blogs that I have enjoyed.  Today, I would like to point out a blog post from a photographer whose work I have enjoyed (and purchased) and who I have had the opportunity to meet personally.  This particular post really made me think about the uniquely personal aspect of artwork.  I think you will enjoy this post by photographer Cole Thompson about comparing your artwork to the work of others. If Cole's writing touches a chord with you, then you will most assuredly enjoy reading Art & Fear: Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking.  This book is really a must-read for all who take their art-making seriously.  In fact, I found the book so meaningful that I reviewed it in the past.  Click on the following link to check out my review of  David Bayles and Ted Orland's book Art and Fear from back in 2007.
