sifting through the rubbish....

11/07/11

Dont be a slave to the 'trash bin' - Ok so you grew up (as we all did) with a mother who constantly yelled at you about tidying up your rubbish, throw it in the bin, clean yourself up!!!

Well - simply put - do not apply this to your photographic stash - as your skills evolve and too your way of thinking about your images, you will all too often find yourself scanning through the old shots and seeing them with a renewed vigour - a tweak here and a paste there and viola - a new masterpiece to add to your website.

Take this example: originally shot in a friends living room with blue walls, i discovered at a much later date - that with a new background and a little lighting via digital tweak, this image gained a whole new reverence within my own collection - needless to say I am happy to feature it amongst current works.

Additionally: looking at your older photos reminds you of how far you are evolving as a photographic student - as i believe we never stop learning - hence remain a student to art.
