I wrote this post way back in 2011 after a group of colleagues and I had a conversation about critiquing. Back then, I published it on a blog that applied to modeling and photography. I am reviving it here with some minor modifications, since it applies just as well to being a creative and working Continue…

After quite a few months of sitting on this idea, I’m finally ready to get things started here.
I’ve started “The RJH Touch” because evidently, I needed another project… ha! I’m not new to blogging. Before creating this space, I dabbled in style blogging.
