This is slippery ground here. Each year as we improve our craft, our quality goes up and the older photos don't hold up as well. So some of mine have the same issue. But at the time I submitted them, they may have been representative of my skills. So each year (if we are improving), a few of our old photos may become less desirable to show in a gallery.
I think what is important is to show work that we can be proud of, work that we feel is representative of our creativity and skills, even though those may change over time. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, June 23, 2006, 3:15:37 PM, you wrote: TC> Just to make a point (and feign a little humility), there's at least 9 of TC> mine in the gallery that I would not submit today, if I had to do it over.
