Should be the name of a book. yes?
not mine though.
I thought I would share with you my new working process, or in other words... the view from my toilet.
I recently found out that my working process needed some improvement. Before it was, shoot > make a contact sheet > choose what to print > make final print.
I really just didn't know any better.
But along the lines of not understanding the worth of my work I also have a really hard time knowing which photographs are worthy of printing. makes sense right?
This is where my critique class has been ever so helpful.
new process. shoot > make contact sheet > grab ANYTHING that sparks my interest, make a proof print > live with it > make a full size test print > final print.
The moment Jim uttered these word to me I knew it was just what I needed.
I think the key here is living with the images. In addition to living with them I will be rearranging them, looking at them in different ways, and paying attention to which images speak to which. And all this from my cozy little toilet room. I am certain a new spot is in order, but this is it for now.
I love this. Anything that slows the process down is a very good thing.
I feel perfectly content just making proof prints to live with for the rest of the semester. Shhh... don't tell Mr. W.
Just kidding, you can tell him. I've worked my tail off this semester and have plenty to show for it ;)
