Well, Hugh, it is interesting.

When you are a client, you call the shots. When you are a photographer you do the best you can do to satisfy the client.
When the work the client likes is criticized, it is them who the critic falls on, not necessarily the artisan who delivered the work that was created.

Being honest is not the same thing as being bitchy. Being bitchy is like being bitchy… but it’s all good.

Reminds me of the ol’ story of how many photographers it takes to screw in a light bulb.

Just one… but 30 to stand around and say “I would’a done it another way”…

Just being honest. Not bitchy.

Looking back on this, what was i thinking. You might call the lighting ‘even’ but let’s be honest, it’s flat and uninteresting…

I might sound bitchy but i’m being honest. These macro shots are not very good.
