First, I want to express my thanks to both members of MNBIRD and MOU. As =
many of you know, my primary focus is on nature photography, with a =
strong emphasis on birds, especially raptors. Because much of what I =
have found and photographed is a direct result of your inputs, I have =
felt it was also important to share those images I obtained with you. =
And your response has been, over the course of the last 1-1/2 years, =
overwhelming in terms of very being very positive and encouraging. =
Almost on a daily basis I receive emails from many of you thanking me =
for sharing my images and complimenting me on their quality. I will =
admit that I know many photographers out there, both professional and =
amateur, who produce excellent images that mine would at best stand in =
their shadows. So all of the feedback from you has not only been =
encouraging, but as equally humbling. And, I am very thankful and =
appreciative of all of it. It has been instrumental in promoting my =
growth as a photographer, a neophyte birder, and most importantly, the =
role my work can play in promoting conservation. Not to long ago I was =
contacted by an editor of a national nature photography magazine to =
submit an article on my Puffin images from my visit to Machias Seal =
Island last Spring while in Maine. They are also very interest in my =
idea of one which promotes image benevolence among photographers for =
educational purposes. I am excited about both opportunities.
Secondly, my other purpose of this email is to solicit feedback (the =
type I can use for improvement) on both my site and photographic work. I =
not only covet your feedback for encouragement, but also continuous =
improvement. I realize that many of you are very busy, but for those =
that have the time and interest, I would like to hear your inputs on how =
I might improve both my site and what I put on it? I am in the process =
of considering revamping it in terms of structure and look, as well as =
improving ease of use. So if you have any suggestions, I would love to =
hear them. Also, I am interested in hearing your thoughts on where you =
think I could use improvement photographically. My goals when I shoot =
are to produce images that are not only esthetically pleasing, but =
technically of value as well. That means they must show sharp detail and =
convey useful information. Are you seeing that? If not, what is missing? =
So if you have positive criticism to offer, I would appreciate hearing =
from you.
Thank you again for time and willingness to consider this request. Have =
a great weekend and good birding.
