I have come to the conclusion that JPG and I are not to be. Yeah, I know keep trying and you'll get in, but I don't think that is going to happen. It's as much my fault as it is JPG's. See, I don't play well with others, particularly when it involves popularity contests and that is exactly what JPG has become. Maybe that's what it always was and I just never realized it. It really doesn't matter as my particular style of photography simply isn't good enough nor is it popular enough to get the attention of someone at the front office in order for it to get published.

Don't worry, I'm okay with that. I totally understand and agree that it's me and not you. I thought my images were good enough and they obviously are not. It's okay, I need to practice more, that's fine. I don't mind. In the past year I've not been accepted to three juried art shows, I have not won 4 photography contests so what's the problem about not being published? Hey... it's okay. I finally get it. It's me. I'm just not that good.
