Is it me or what?
When I look at my photos they seem to get better.
Seriously. I've been going through my files of late. I open up some shot I have never processed and lo and behold, a seemingly interesting perspective on life I ignored first time around.
Then I might venture into the already processed files and once again I see things I missed and the shot looks more interesting.
Then there are those shots that I really ranked as a reasonable effort for an old bloke and the longer I look the better I get. Before I know it I'm feeling pretty bloody good about being a photographer.
Now I'm at the point where I don't want to throw anything out for fear of discarding a priceless piece of art. There has to be at least one shot in there that would even come under the scrutiny of OPF and pass muster.
I wonder if there are others out there who have experienced this phenomenon of .... What should I call it? ..... Self satisfaction, delayed as it may. Or am I just more tolerant of my own inadequacies?
