getting the picture

Filed under: Photography — John @ 4:17 am

I’ve been going through my old negatives, a couple hundred sheets from the past few years. The plan is to find some more photos to fill-out my upcoming Nikon salon show. Imagine my suprise to find all sorts of pictures that I had forgotten about, but now I am enamored with. I did not “get” them back when they are fresh. Only with time and removal from the images have I been able to approach them with a clear eye and mind. I guess I was not ready to understand them yet. Minor White said something like how most photographers shoot better than they know.

It (photography, art, life, everything else) is about getting to know what you are doing, and what can you learn from that?
