Default Learning - overcome the frustrations

Here is a link that a friend shared with me. It is spot on for how I feel and so I thought it may strike a cord with a few others too:

Always ok for DPS users to critique and edit my photos for instructional purposes.

Great video. Thanks for posting. That's what Chase Jarvis refers to as the "creative gap". Jeffrey Zeldman had this to say on the topic:

Quote:
If your old work doesn’t shame you, you’re not growing. It’s nice to look back and feel that you’ve made progress. When you look at old work, it should suck glaringly and you should cringe painfully. But there should also be some germ within it that you’re not ashamed of—some spark of talent or inspiration that connects to what you do now.

I agree with everyone.. I'm in a very agreeable mood today! (A result of sleeping soundly for the first time in ages)

Finally got home and managed to see the video.. Thank you, it's nice to hear stuff like that.
