What do we need?
What do we need in this Noisy World? I mean the world of art that we are involving with. I have two simple points: Inspiration & Friendship.
-
Last week a very dear friend of mine asked me “Why you didn’t prepare an exhibition? Why you’re not so active in our meetings, convenes and groups? ...” It wasn’t a very new question for me, this year, because I’ve heard it so much from so many.. you may know what I have to answer; yes, RedBubble ;)
Its just amazing when I see my photos here have more than 17000 views.. and you, my friends here..
For me, Photographers have to show they works and have to listen to viewers thoughts to find a way; to getting better. I’ve learned so much here and I just thought I have to say Thank You again for each of your kind words, advises and your clicks!
And special Thank You to a very Dear and Talented photographer/friend; Kevin
His Journal – Its So Much For Me!
What makes it super is He’s a really great photographer and.. not sure how to appreciate his more-than-kind words!
Thank You all ;)

I laugh/this is so so true/Mohsen/this is the place to learn most of it BUT you have to find the balance because in the long run…................exhibitions are truth time. You have to face the critics.You are a wonderful person and MUST never vanish. I have learnt so so much from you/not only about photography.Thanks for all the wonderful times dear friend…..... yes here is the noiseless world full of inspiration and friendship..the wonders of REDBUBBLE and those hundreds who make all this possible

no, noway… vanishing that noisily world! you know, I was so much than so active in group exhibitions, entering contests and anything/anywhere about photography! but its now in balance; I find the right place to apportioning my time ;)
shanghaiwu
time management….......so you have the answer to time management…..please tell me your secret as I have this wonderful feeling about time…......don’t wear a watch
Mohsen Bayramn... replied
I will definitely think about that!!
shanghaiwu
ha ha
you and I are the same…....hahaha
there are wonderful ways to avoid the nonsense that interferes with time on REDBUBBLE
do you want to hear them all/I can lead you astray so very quickly
shanghaiwu
so what happened…you have gone quiet…..............oh that’s right/time management

so where were you….... I mean where are you
Mohsen Bayramn... replied

time management; you know, it’s so complicate… love to hear your thoughts.

Dear Mohsen,
I was touched and very much agree with everything you wrote. I think this site is such a great place to show your work and to get input that helps to improve. It is much better (easier and cheaper) than making an exhibition as it is instant and you get a great coverage from all over the world. In thousands of comments I never had a nasty remark. If a picture is not good it just doesn’t get comments and this is a way to measure and appreciate your art.
I particularly value your friendship and input as it manages to cross so many borders showing that art can unite as all for a better future.
Best
Michael

and about Preparing Exhibition, I’m more agree with shanghaiwu, we need it in balance and a time management and I name it apportioning the time.
Thanks for taking your time to read and making the comment ;)
wish you all the best.

Mohsen! what a wonderful journal Kevin has written about you, and I have made a great discovery…..never before have I seen the abstract self portrait of you, and it’s truly beautiful, wow! It seems to me Mohsen, you are touching many people’s hearts and lives…...not just through your photography I might add, but that is coupled with your lovely character, and together this makes a strong impact on those in this community who know and appreciate you. Keep up the wonderful inspirational work, and of course, the balance between RB and the exhibitions where you get to show your work in person. It’s hard to create a balance that’s for sure. I swing hard one way, and then the other, like a pendulum, until eventually I do find a bit of a balance :) I’m glad you have found that! Take care my friend, always, Karin

Hi Mohsen,
It was just a very wee thing that I did as I still get more out of looking at your work than a small journal will ever do.
Art is all about sharing your view point and ideals. As Michael quite eloquently eludes to that art does not really have any borders or boundaries in so many ways.
My pleasure and enjoy.
Kevin

Sorry but have to think about this….........I have looked at BRILLIANT work and there is not one COMMENT…..I actually sit in amazement and ponder WHY…...this is only a theory but….....sometimes the inner self looks/admires in wonder and moves on..actually like a thief in the night….........it is very important to recognize TALENT when viewed and a comment made . It is also amazing how ones’ photography/art can improve if an encouraging word is left….taps the dormant talent!
wonderful input here Mohsen

I understand. For me it is the comments and then numbers. There are thousands looking at our work….......all inspiring!. REDBUBBLE is a hugely powerful way of exhibiting and connecting .I am really talking about a brilliant image and no comments…...........that simple .I am not talking about your work or mine…......

mohsen
love all the wonderful comments from everyone here
what blows me away most is here we are all artists and photographers…..........respecting each other/helping …........
ha ….......aha think you should be a political adviser…..........take some of your tolerance/friendship and understanding which you have scattered around REDBUBBLE /out into the other world…........

Mohsen my friend you are not the only person addicted to RB… I spend many hours every day going through the art work of the people on my watch list and offering positieve feedback. Sometimes it is a simple …lovely…other times it is about the texture, or POV… but I feel I need to say something to them…
I also have to say thankyou to the many people who comment on my work.
For me RB has been a place that has helped me start to heal from the injuries from my accidents and the loss of our baby grandsons… To be supported and befreinded by so many talented artists is amazing… It has helped me feel good about my photography.
It is also a great place to learn from others and there are so many willin gto share here…
So my friend you may need someone to tap you on the shoulder after 6 hours or so and say hey you have a life outside of RB…lol… that is what my girls do for me…
I cant wait to see what you offer us next…
Mohsen Bayramn... replied
so sorry for your accident, but glad you’re now doing ok – loved reading your nice words…

Mohsen Bayramn... replied

shanghaiwu
ha.so wonderful
I told you …PLAY THE GAME
it is a wonderful /rewarding fabulous game and you came along with us all for the exciting ride. Oh No it is not the normal game…..but a game of using this amazing technology of which REDBUBBLE is an integral part and push boundaries/do things you would never have done before/embrace new and wonderful friends…...take photographs you would never have thought possible by learning from others…pushing the boundaries within your mind…........what an exciting world this really is MOHSEN and so we all keep playing the game and making it an even better world…..............oh what am I saying…...
