Although I've been shooting for a few years, I have yet to develop a "style". At least one that is readily identifiable to me. One of my problems is that I love so many disparate kinds of photography. I'm pretty OK with that. Some people are specialists and others are generalists. The world needs both kinds of people. In many areas of my life, I am very much a specialist. And in those areas, I like that my skill set and knowledge is at the top of the heap. But in photography, because I like so many different aspects and styles, I actually prefer to be a jack of all trades.
So I was just on flickr catching up with my contact photos and noticed that someone new had faved 4 of my photos. I meant to click on thier name to see what kinds of stuff they shot, but I accidentally clicked on the word favorites. I was brought to their "favorites" page. I had never viewed anyone else's favorites before. It's pretty enlightening seeing what someone curates as their own favorites. Seeing my photos mixed in with their favorites, everything clicked. My photos actually looked better, by being with photos that they fit with. It's funny that they found me. Nearly all of their favorites are black and white, and I just don't do that many. So it was cool to see someone who likes black and white and liked some of mine. No one will ever mistake me as a b/w master. But if I'm a generalist who can at least be competent in b/w, I'm fine with that.

Here's mine.... http://www.flickr.com/photos/lukinosity/favorites/ (mine sure look much more random, but I guess that's just my taste)
