		<description>Well, if you came look for a bit of escapism, Daz, you came to the right place! Btw, I found out a bit about your castle. I&#039;ll be emailing you about it shortly!

Oh, I&#039;m so glad my words have helped you, Travelerstales!  I do think you&#039;re onto something very important - it is when we tap into our positive intentions and perform according to our passions and our values that we can begin to become successful.  I wish you the very best of luck with your business and with regaining your love for photography.</description>

		<description>Thank you! I have been trying to make a photography business work for a few years now and it just hasn&#039;t been a happening thing. Everybody loves my work but nobody ever buys much. I&#039;ve been kind of burnt on photography for a little while now because it just wasn&#039;t as much fun. I&#039;ve been kind of reformulating the way I viewed what used to be a passion and trying to find a way to get it back and you just gave me some real wisdom. It&#039;s the sharing of how I see the world that was the passion, not trying to capture images that other people would like, or even understand. I think there will start being a whole lot more images on my blog! Thank you again.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not &#039;cheating&#039; to edit your photographs! in fact we expect them to be polished and cropped to perfection.We aren&#039;t looking for a scientific documentary as much as a romantic getaway.

Editing your photos is another step in the creative process.</description>

		<description>I think that&#039;s absolutely key to what I&#039;m saying here, Rosa - &quot;to take creative license versus obsessing on photographic technique&quot; gives us the freedom to experiment, the freedom to play and the freedom to make happy accidents :-)

Oh, I&#039;m so glad, Susan.  I&#039;m posting more on what I think you can get out of taking your camera with you every where, as I do think that it can have a dramatic effect upon one&#039;s personal creativity.  I&#039;ll be interested to see what you make of it, as an artist whose primary expression is through the medium of paint.

I really enjoy the editing process, Celtic Angel.  I feel as though it is an extension of the creative process of creating an image, of creating that &#039;visual interest&#039;.  I&#039;m glad you enjoy my photos of Scotland :-)

I think of sharing my photos as the next logical step for my photographs, Joanna.  I suppose I think that I get so much from them that I want to be able to put them out there for others to enjoy too.  I look forward to hearing more of your idea :-)

I think choosing to reflect your memory and intention is a really positive move, Jokerine.  It can be hard not being too precious about them though, can&#039;t it?

It sounds as though you have a similar approach to photography and post-production as I, Kacey.  It all depends upon what you want to convey through your image, doesn&#039;t it?

You&#039;ve absolutely nailed it, Bo.  That&#039;s precisely how I feel about sharing my photos, and about engaging with the photos of others.  It gives us that connection :-)

There are online editors, LindaH, which I&#039;m going to look at on Thursday.  I&#039;m afraid you&#039;re quite right about Flickr - some of the comments left can contain rather cutting critiques.  It&#039;s so important to nurture our budding creativity, isn&#039;t it?

Oh, I&#039;m so glad you liked it, Teacher Girl.  I&#039;m honoured that you chose to quote me in your post :-)</description>

		<description>Hi Amy!

This evening I was working on a little post called &quot;Postcards I Wish I Had Sent&quot; when I read your post about continuing to take photos. When I read your line, “They are an invitation to connect through a sharing of perspective” (yummmm!) I felt like all of the shiny bits of the universe were conspiring to help me. I included your quote and a link to LLO in my post.  Here you are: http://teachermeetsworld.blogspot.com/

Thanks for the very good words about photography!</description>
