Julie,
so are you saying that if I "like" one of your images -- or Preston's or Jim Poor's or anybody else's -- that it doesn't mean anything because you can't count on my giving you any business? I'm sorry. I thought there was a difference between genuine peer appreciation and simply wanting comments from folks who can help you financially.

Now, before you go into orbit, I know you comment on my images -- and other photographers that you know -- because you truly like the image. And it means more to me than having somebody who knows nothing about how that image was created liking it.

I'm not competing with you. I'd be far more likely to collaborate with you. So, if I like your images, it's because I truly like your images. I'm a photographer. I have a right to like. I hope you value my opinions as much as I value yours.

Jim
