From: "John Celio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Back when I was an art student and was in my first photography class, my
professor (Alice Shaw, www.aliceshaw.com) was giving a slide show about
famous fine art photographers and their creative processes.
One photographer she mentioned, whose name I wish I could remember,
would take photos and process the film, but not look at the negatives
for about a year. This would help to remove sentimental attachments he
might have with the images and allow him to more objectively select
photos to print. This struck me as a very good idea, especially since I
always feel immensely sentimental about things I create, even if they're
bad.
What sort of philosphy do you have when working with your photos, both
old and new?
I don't know if it's a philosophy, but I go back every once in a while
and cull all the crap.
For some reason, even after culling, every time I go back I find more of
what I took IS crap.
So, I guess my "philosophy", if you can call it that, is dissatisfaction
with what I've managed to do so far as a photographer.
