I don't know, Figen. I would like to see the groups have more dynamic discussions and sharing of resources. It's hard because I think we all lead such busy lives and have support from other places. I started this thinking that there would be more discussion about the cultural context of techniques, materials, etc, but it seems like people are pretty content with sharing their images and making comments that way.
Look around and wake people up! It's a great group of people and there really is a lot of knowledge and talent. We had some action for awhile in the critique group, "The awful truth", but nothing much has happened lately.
Do you have any suggestions of things you would like to see happen?
How do you pronounce your name? I imagine Cakir is Turkish, right? Would just like to be able to say it correctly in my mind...
