When your work is not good (ENG-ESP)-Monomad challenge

t's not necessary for everyone to like your work.

In fact, it's normal for some people not to connect with it. And that's okay.

But what about those who try to tear it down, especially in public?

Yesterday, I shared some photos in a photographers' group. The admin, who often does this, just shared a screenshot of one of my images and said it was the only "half-decent" one.

No es necesario que a todo el mundo le guste tu trabajo. De hecho, es normal que haya gente que no conecte. Y eso está bien. Pero, ¿qué pasa con quienes pretenden destruirlo, y más públicamente?

Ayer compartí unas fotos en un grupo de fotógrafos. El administrador, quien suele hacerlo, solo compartió una captura de una de mis imágenes y dijo que era la única “medio buena”.

There was no explanation, no constructive criticism.

At first, his attitude bothered me, but ultimately, it's his problem, so there's nothing I can do about it.

I thought about responding, but that would just be playing his game. He must have his reasons for being that way.

Then I questioned my own work: Is it bad? Do I need to improve? Why does so-and-so get praise for their work?

No hubo un porqué ni una crítica constructiva. Al principio me molestó su actitud, pero al final es suya, así que no puedo hacer nada al respecto.

Pensé en responderle, pero eso sería seguirle el juego. Él tendrá sus razones para ser así. Después, cuestioné mi trabajo: ¿es malo? ¿Necesito mejorar? ¿Por qué a fulano sí le alaban el suyo?

It's good to improve, and these kinds of situations can be a motivator.

However, we must not let doubt or contempt affect our work.

Está bien mejorar, y este tipo de situaciones impulsan a hacerlo.Sin embargo, no hay que permitirse que la duda o el desprecio afecten el trabajo.

En este mundo del arte siempre habrá críticas, algunas constructivas que tomamos en cuenta para mejorar y otras que no valen la pena tener en cuenta. Continúa con tu trabajo que es muy bueno 💪🏾🤩

Such people as this admin drain your confidence and inspiration. There are many communities nowadays, no reason to stick to one infested with this toxic admin.

No one shoots only genius photographs - most images, even taken by the bestest guys, are "half-decent". That's not the reason to stop. We should enjoy what we do and give our best, and that's the main point.

All songs of this guy - many would say - were "half-decent" except for one:

173M views below this video proves there are millions of people who are happy he just was himself and enjoyed his creative journey.
