If you want to share your work, I'd have to say as far as I'm concerned that is seeking an audience. Whether or not you are also seeking approval is a different story. You may be looking to upset them, make them love or hate you or something you represent. That's if you're looking to do anything to them at all. That's what I'm hopping this post will encourage, to get people to think about what they want the audience to do / how to react to the work. They're listening if you're saying something or not, so you might as well say something, right? Thanks guys!

By audience, do you mean those who like your work, or just a group of folks that you want to view your work? Perhaps I want to share my pictures, in general, with others who might have a different take on them. Is that seeking an audience? Is approval implicit with an audience? Regarding the story, I'm telling my own story, so to speak; I have no expectation that anyone will have an idea of what it is about. Yet, I do my best to put those photos out front that tell the story the best that I can with the skills and knowledge that I have at the moment. Great post! Interesting.

I've been often hit on the street with "hey,! you;re that guy from next door" or "wow, I think I recognize you from the hardware store". let me tell you, they got no attention whatsoever. The guy with the kitten tacos? we sat for a nice long icecream sandwich. Now really, I think you really hit the nail with this post. It really relates to what chase had to say about it: http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2009/06/your-photos-are-boring.html Zeke,
