My boss can be a bit harsh, come on the job and just nitpick it. I get it though, I tell the new guys that it's his job, push you to put out a better project. Nobody's perfect you could always do something better. Now he asks me if I'm happy with it, and I point out all the small stuff that could be better.
It sounds like what you do is precision based. Whereas the photography I was doing it could be precision based but it didn't need to be, it's art. There could always be one quirky thing under or overexposed that wouldn't break the image but it might draw someone's eye over to it which isn't the desired effect. Maybe that would take away from the images worth. You might be right, maybe I didn't try to understand the guy well enough. And I didn't try to see where he was coming from. I just thought he was an abrasive prick. Not a guy who was backwardly trying to make us damn good photographers so we could make the most money possible. Maybe a lesson learned too late.
It's stone work, precise on paper as far as the plan... But in the field there's definitely an art to it, especially when it comes to finishing of the grade out adding plants.
Stone work is art. You guys do some nice stuff. Where I grew up it's a thing to have fieldstone fences on your property. Most fences are from the original settlers so they could be over 300 years old. A lot of those fences are gone or really worn down now. Fieldstone fence builders around here get paid top dollar and make them quite impressive. This what you guys do?
