Admittedly my last post was not up to snuff. The week before finals was filled with running around campus doing things with friends before hell week engaged the full attention of my brain. i rushed my previous work, specifically the startrails, which take a rather long time to edit. I went back, took a look at what i've done before and what i want to do, got a fresh pack and some coffee and sat down for an all-nighter. I didnt take care when editing my work this time. Instead of spending the minimal amount of time editing (and thus doing a minimal amount of editing, something that I held important to my style before this post) i spent loads of time on each set. This is not to say that i created something out of nothing, and that my photos are the pure representation of my work on the computer, but rather that i can make many little tweaks here and there and result in an image i'm proud to put my name on. Through these past 48 or so hours i came unto my own conclusions about post processing and the artist's editing technique. I rejected previous ideas and new processes alike, i feel like i came into my own when working on these.
My beliefs changed during this time aswell. It reminded me of how many people i show myself to and what i post here and on sites on the internet show about me. These images i put up should be work that im proud of, through and through, and are shown to you, the viewer, with the full impact that my images have on me. This is most likely very convoluted but what it boils down to is this: Make sure that you are proud of what you show to others.
