as I may or may not have shown you I have a new digital camera. As a photographer I am faced with a new question, or in other words I can do something that I couldn't do before: I can delete photos.
I really don't know how to take this. I have always believed that my art is sacred. That only 1 in 100 photos it "good" and 1 in 1000 are fit for a portfolio. But it was the 999 previous photos that made the one last one great... or was it?
If I were no never allow past my front door anything I didn't deem perfect then I could delete hundreds of photos before anyone else got to see them and maybe, just maybe, find the one hiding in the 999 that I missed and didn't realize was a great photo. If those 999 don't exist anymore then what if somewhere along the way I was wrong? Where exactly would that bit of artistic expression go but to waste? My moment in time that I captured? Really?
Digital scares me...
