Never. There are precious few people left that are worthy critics of
any of the arts. (For a very happy counterexample, I encourage everyone
here to subscribe to "The New Criterion", arguably the most literate
of the critical magazines around: http://www.newcriterion.com/).
I don't worry about "making it" because, as I said, I long ago figured
out I cared too much about photography to put myself in the position
of being forced to do stuff I didn't like - so I found another way
to pay my way through life. I live my artist's life in happy
obscurity doing the work I love on my own terms. Trust me when I
tell you this beats trying to make some aunt of the bride happy :)
