A self-employed house-painter that enjoys his newfound photography hobby and a beer enthusiast/certified beer judge. I'm happily married with a beautiful teenaged daughter and I live in the Midwest

 

I should add here that I'm always receptive to constructive comments. I actually prefer that folks view my images with a critical eye and share whatever that eye may reveal to them. For anyone reading this and wishing for a critique from someone that enjoys doing them don't hesitate to send me link and a request. I promise I'll give you my honest opinion about the things I like and the things I think could be improved.

I have read Darren's comments on photos others have made for many months now, and he is both careful and witty in his critique. Whomever posts an image, and gets a comment from him will come away a far better photographer - and person. Isn't that what this is all about?

Darren is a talented and thoughtful photographer. He doesn't take--or doesn't post--dozens of photos each day that are just snapshots, but rather he composes each one carefully and deliberately. He's also one of those rare people who doesn't mind constructive criticism of his shots. He actually seeks out those kinds of comments in his efforts to constantly improve. Likewise, he makes helpful comments about others' photos, and demonstrates his belief that everyone's work is worthy of both criticism and praise. When Darren leaves a comment, you know he's thought about what he said, before writing it down in his very unique style. He likes to play with words as well as his camera, and I always look forward to whatever his next posting will be. Besides all that, he's become a good friend!
