Stuck In Customs - Too Bad Really

Ah Trey Ratcliff, he was and actually still is a good photographer, tried his hands at something else and published a book that was a decent coffee table book, but fell short of most expectations. Some people (including me) voiced our opinion of the book and what does he do... well I tell you he comes out of the shadows and just disappointed. An artist (or anyone really) should take criticism as a tool, no matter what it is they should build on it and improve. What is truly the point of surrounding yourself with sheep that ooo, and ahhh everything you say. How do you grow if you actually think that what you have done is perfect? How do you better yourself? I do not understand? It is actually either a very insecure person who does this or just some one who's ego is so big that it will be there downfall. Seriously. Just too bad that he had to react that way and just display his immaturity. Well he has lost one "fan" and I am quite sure several more will follow after this last little show. Too bad really...
