Douglas,
 Don't give up the idea of shooting every day. Not everyone has
disliked your images. Most of the folks disliked your attitude towards
constructive criticism. The way you answered and attacked those who
didn't agree with your view, even I had a hard time not jumping on
that wagon.
  I have had no problem with your style of photography or of those
who were in your images. There were a couple of times there was a
problem with what I saw and felt it could have been my moniter. Other
times I felt is was a shot that had to be captured right then. Not
having any time to double check horizon, placement in image frame or
even correct exposure( a very few of those).
 Only other thing I did notice was that you had nothing nice to say
about any one elses work. Either when they posted a link here or when
the group had a mandate image workshop(?). You had posted several
times to those and some great images. But never do I remember you
giving praise or helpful hints to those other photographers. You might
have given hints and clues to something you did. But no real
information on what it was or how it worked. Either with PS or in the
darkroom or in camera. Why not?
       Then you say how miss treated you are and then attack people
who had given their own opinions. If you are going to attack those who
have differing opinions than yours, fine. Attack those opinions, not
the people. If you feel you have been stollen from that stop talking
and do something. If your aren't going to do anything then please,
stop the nonsense.
  Douglas, I feel that there have been times when you are on a good
course then all of a sudden you take a ninety degree turn and haul a.s
off topic. What's up with that? Just wondering and not really looking
for an answer.

 Keep shooting and doing the work you love. In the end it doesn't
matter what others may think. It doesn't matter what equipment you
have or if you shoot film or digital. What matters is that you are
please with the final product and that the people who are contracting
your services enjoy the work you do. Doesn't matter one rats backside
if any one else doesn't care for your work. SO keep shooting. If you
want to continue to grow photographicly and not become static in your
images, then listen to others. Some may not have a lot to say: others
may have a lot to say. It is up to you to pick what you want and keep.
Because if you stop learning you will become stale and people will
stop seeking you out to shoot their special moments of their lives.

My two cents in all this mess. Hope you will keep posting your POD. I,
for one of many(?) enjoy seeing the work of others.

Getting even isn't good enough.

Doing better does.

If you look at the responses you got mixed with the insults were some
pretty good advice on how to improve your photos, either when taking
them or in post processing.  Part of the problem that I see is you
take every criticism of your photos as a personal attack.

You seem to take an attitude that there is nothing anyone can teach
you, but if you read the critiques of you the photos you have posted I
think you will see that there is a lot that you can learn from them.

I don't post nearly as many photos as either you or Bret, but when I
do I often will get a statement that starts something like "nice photo
but it is too bad that..." and most of the time I agree with the person
saying it.  Part of the reason to post photos is to get feedback and
improve, can you really say you have not gotten any worthwhile
feedback?
