I know I’ve poked fun at Instagram, but I actually like it. It’s simple and fun. However, with the glut of photo sharing opportunities that exist online already, I felt like I needed some sort of “theme” to follow in order to pique my interest in another one. So I’ve decided that I will use Instagram as an abstract & landscape playground of sorts… i.e., no cute kid pictures or funny moments or pictures of “stuff”. Just shots like this darkly beautiful Winter pond. Or whatever. Come follow if you like that sort of thing.

Where most of your images belong.

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: EDIT YOUR PHOTOS RUTHLESSLY. There are few things in the world of photography more gratifying than chopping through a mountain of photographs, making good selects (which is harder than it sounds), and then trashing everything else. Literally. If it’s a garbage shot, it’s a garbage shot. Put it in the garbage.

Of course this applies much more so to the world of digital photography. If you’re using a digital camera, you are very likely to find, after only a few years of shooting, that you have tens of thousands of images that are simply polluting your hard drive (and your ability to improve and grow) by there mere existence. Get rid of them!

Best advice I can give for anyone trying to become a good photographer: shoot a lot of images… and delete as many as possible.

So much to do.

That section in the back behind the little divider that says “scanned”… those are the “done” rolls. The other 60 or so in front of it are my to-catch-up-on pile.

I need a week.

The whole day felt like this today.

And it was perfection.
