So, last year, I sent in three pictures and of course Mark picked the one I thought was the least interesting. That damn curatorship thing; no, I'm not complaining, I'm in awe of Mark's work on the book and he's earned the right to make the editorial statement he wants and other evidence suggests that he has better photographic taste than I anyhow.
I swore up and down that this year I'd pick the one I wanted to pick and send that one. Hah. Three again; but this time, I really tried hard not to like any of them more than the other two. We'll see if it works. -Tim On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 1:06 PM, Ken Waller <[email protected]> wrote: > FWIW > > I'm probably my worst critic as I delete any image for the slightest 'flaw', > & as a result I don't keep a lot of images I've shot. > > Critical editing is one way to improve your photography.
