Thu, 15 Jan 2009 14:08:19 +0000 http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/?p=2685#comment-40078 Thanks for this informative and inspirational post. Ironically, in the last week of 2008, I did go through my images to try to determine my 2009 portfolio. And now, from this portfolio, I'm trying to determine which two to submit for an small exhibition - on Monday no less. It's driving me crazy as to which I should go with - people or landscape. If anyone would like to offer their their thoughts, you can see what I'm working with here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mark_k_nj/3144841559/ I <i>think</i> I have two in mind but I just can't settle on it. Any thoughts woudl be appreciated. And to all readers of DPS...have a great 2009 behind the lens! Thanks for this informative and inspirational post.

This is a great starting point in discovering WHY they hadn't made the cut the first time, and looking at what could improve them in a similar situation. #7 is one of the most important points on here. Use friends/family as models so you are shooting every week!

Follow the photo streams of those who's work you admire, find out what groups they participate in and join in the discussion directly. Participate in online discussions with some of your favourite "all star" photographers through twitter - you can often bypass unanswered emails with direct messages on twitter.
