Start to Finish

          I have learned that you needed to take your images from a start point to a completion point.  The completion point is at least matted, if not framed and up on the wall or a shelf for evaluation.  This evaluation can take days, months or longer depending on the individual...  If the image last a month, you may have a good image.  If it can last 6 months without you wanting to change it or remove it, you have a good image.  Subcounsiously you will become aware of any problems with the image during this viewing process.  Even if you can't figure out what is bothering you about the image, you will know that it bothers you.  That is the main reason to take images all the way to a completion point.

          I bring this up for another reason.  Two weeks ago I completed 4 new images, of which 2 may need some more work.  The other 2 are done, and at this time I am very happy with them.  Once these images were matted and on display here in the office I became really excited to get out and expose some more images...  So I have learned another lesson as to why you should always take your images to a completion point.  It energizes you to get out there and do more!!!  Sort of a positive reinforcement cycle that can help itself along.

          That was last Saturday, Sunday I had a great day and exposed 5 new images.  Yesterday, I got caught up on my film developing.  So today I have 6 new images to take a look at....

          Enjoy, it's all a work in progress.
