I completely agree with all of these points. This could have been my playbook during school! (esp. #4) Crits are an excellent excercise in humility. Listen, absorb and be respectful. I never had one that crushed me. Yes, they can be swayed by outside variables unrelated to you or your work but if you listen closely, you can usually detect that early. #5 and #6 are easier said that done. In one particularly gruesome studio, I had the misfortune of being under instructors with elarged egos and axes to grind. Neither of these 2 items helped me. As a matter of fact, I believe it may have led to my poor grade because I challenged both men. Awful….worst experience of my life. I left that class with emotional scars!
Lesson learned.

I’m not a photographer myself, but I’m looking forward to seeing how Seattle is represented. I expect to see a shot of coffee in there somewhere…

A lovely compilation! As a local SF resident, I think you did a great job capturing some of the cities textures!
