A good slide show was fun, but most suffered from an editing problem. Five different views of the same waterfall and a glass of wine and I'd be snoozing.Agreed.....I can remember the days of "slide shows" with my parents and their friends. A fun evening with friends and family , a drink and a few eatables, looking at someone's latest set of holiday pictures and enjoying sharing the events and adventures which they'd had. Perhaps also seeing something of places which you might never expect to visit yourself.
OK, most of the pictures wouldn't have won any prizes, but the whole evening was a lot more real fun than tedious analysis of some pretentious and over-priced prints in a snooty art gallery.
I'm one with the idea that nobody cares about my photos. While they do pretty well at Pixoto, I get very little feedback from postings on Flickr and Facebook. Being told this by a total stranger doesn't really faze me, but it is nice when someone *does* notice.
He's just trying to motivate you to take your work ... The guy has a passion for photography.
Forbes is only partially right.
art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed
I did notice the cameras on the shelf in the background. I won't criticize him for that, as I've got a metric tonne of them on shelves as well. What was amusing was that he had them lit by spotlights.
Forbes' weekly video gets about 10,000 views. He is a big proponent of film photography. I'm sure a lot of people have tried film because of him. Thank you Ted Forbes!

That is really really sad.I think nobody cares about my photography and so I don't show them to nobody and not posting on the social media.
What most on-line photography lacks is context and editing.
Even 50-80 photos may be a bit much for a kayak race. Especially nowadays, as very few people have the interest or patience to look at such an extensive series for a single event all the way through. Narrow it down to about 10 of the most compelling images, and your series will have more impact as a whole.Definitely! Whether photos of a single event, or a long period like you mentioned.
Several of us take (digital) photos of our kayak races. Some people just dump all their images online immediately. We're talking maybe a thousand or so shots with no editing/culling. I cull mine down to about 50-80 so it tells the story and captures the key participants. Mine always get more views simply because I've edited a little.
I had this debate with a wedding photographer recently. He told me he gives people over a thousand photos, and anything less than 1,000 is ripping people off!
How annoyed would you be if you paid thousands and you get given over 1000 photos!
