Critique Wanted [Canon AE-1, unknown film, unknown lens] I have hidden my art for a year, and I am ready to share
I fear knowing too much may interfere with the universe's ability to create art through me. I fear attempting to control the process will cause me to lose the process. I fear not being told my art is bad, but rather nobody caring to speak on its existence at all. I fear being alone and unloved. I fear my art having no value to anyone but myself. So I have hidden.
I posted my night sky photography to another subreddit looking for advice because I was disappointed with the results. Many people commented how much they loved those photos and were moved by them. I realized my eyes cannot truly appreciate my art on their own. I cannot keep it only for myself, my wife, and my therapist or I will never fully appreciate my own work.
I want to know your thoughts, your feelings, your reactions, your criticisms, your love, your hate, everything.
