"There are so many ways we artists are discouraged in our creative pursuits, it is such a joy when encouragement arrives unexpectedly. Perhaps we can help one another by simply taking the time to say, "Atta boy!"

Very good podcast. I have read many times on this forum that people don't want to hear "nice" or "great shot" or some other "meaningless" compliment and have always disagreed with that.

For me when someone compliments a photo of mine it does encourage me to shoot more. I do like the detailed CC as well but if we are never encouraged in any aspect of life it sure makes it a lot less enjoyable. that's my story anyway.. thanks for the link
