Read Mike Johnston's Sunday Morning Photographer column from yesterday. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/columns/sm-10-06.shtml It's a very interesting read on the difference between a pro and an amateur, and the importance of careful editing. But maybe I like it so much, because it seems the author somehow entered my head and stole his ideas from there ;)
I have yet to enter a picture for the PUG gallery, but hope to try soon :) Regarding the yearly self-portraits, I think it's an interesting idea.

I figure if I activly try to shoot for the Pug and for that, it should be nice. I'd been thinking for awhile of trotting out my old highschool assignments and reshooting them, just to have some drive and push. I guess the next meeting they'll pick next year's themes, as well. You know, I do wish that the PUG would've put in a self-portrait theme for every year, it'd be interesting to see how people have changed from the old ones...
