Is there not any other subject to shoot in your country other than the catholic church? |

Is there not any other subject to shoot in your country other than the catholic church? Judging by the "no camera" sign in the third shot, somebody else is trying to give Miguel the same message. He just won't take the hint. There are photographers who take nothing but macro shots, landscapes, flowers, etc. The problem isn't that his photographs are of one subject matter, but that the subject matter isn't of interest to this group. That's the group's problem, not Miguel's. Miguel's problem is that he is so brainwashed by his church that he can see no other subject or topic of which to photograph in his mind. I'd be interested in seeing some street shots of the people in Lima, but Miguel isn't interested in taking them. I respect that my interests are not his interests. |

That's the group's problem, not Miguel's. Ageed. However it would be nice if he could just polish things up a bit to make the shots move beyond the rut he is stuck in. I have no objection to shots of churches and cathedrals. They can, and do make striking subjects of photographs. The same can be said of his captive bird and reptile shots. Miguel has just not found the formula to give us those improved shots, and as a result his efforts, as a student of photography are not progressing at any appreciable rate. I'd be interested in seeing some street shots of the people in Lima, but Miguel isn't interested in taking them. I respect that my interests are not his interests. Once more, I agree. The time has come for him to find other subject material, and street shots are a good place to find them. Street vendors, other locals, tourists, lovers on a park bench they are all there, or should be in a place like Lima. If not Lima he should be able to take day trips outside the city into villages where the photo opportunities must be endless. Agreed, I for one would love to see shots of the street venders and surrounding villages etc. Give us shots of things that many of us who couldnt possibly travel down there to see. |

Would you say that the macro photographer is so brainwashed by his interest in entomology that he can see no other subject to photograph? Why is it that a person who does macro insect photography does so because the subject interests them, but a person who photographs churches is "brainwashed"? I'd be interested in seeing some street shots of the people in Lima, but Miguel isn't interested in taking them. I respect that my interests are not his interests. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
