What do I do? Take a lot of pointless landscapes in Somerset or poke around abandoned buildings that noone's interested in, take close-up pictures of ruddy flowers! What you do can change things, or at least make people feel and think that they ought to change, which is the next best thing!
Please don't give up posting. We need a regular supply of your top quality photographs to remind us, inter-alia, how lucky we are and what life can be like for those at the bottom.
I'll shut-up now.
Best wishes,
Andrew
Well said!

Aiki's right, Pauly that's a terrible feeling to have had. If only you knew the high esteem in which your work is held on this forum. I've read stuff praising your work which you've probably never even read. People love what you do and respect the way you use your camera and to what ends.I thought I was getting ignored and disliked on this forum, thats why I stopped posting here.

I guess we all need someone to look at our photos, otherwise what is the point really. That's the nature of photography.
I appreciate your comments wholeheartedly.
Andrew, there is nothing wrong with the subjects you shoot, at all. I wish I could shoot some beautiful wildflowers in a meadow or a ruined building on a moor. When shot well, everyone will be interested without a doubt.
Regards.
