For the past two weeks I've been copying old transparencies and black and white photos and uploading them to the site. This is a very tedious and complicated process because there are many photos I want to show, but finding the right place to put them can be difficult.
I have decided to include most of my work here that represents the kind of work I was doing in the past. Some of it is not necessarily good, but, in a general sense, that's the point. I worked on and off for decades and some of the work was commercially or editorially driven so the pauses and the direction I was given can influence the quality of the work. But, this site is more of a record than anything else and it ought to have a lot of the material I've done.
I promise to be more discerning and critical with the present work. In most cases today, the emphasis is not on the volume or the range of the work I do, but on how good it is. I'm striving to make that the criteria for posting here.
So...it is all gradually coming together. I'm not quite prepared to have these blog comments go out over my facebook page. I think there's a lot more to do here before I start talking about the site in that way. But, eventually I think ramblings in this blog will be a part of the process so the viewer can know what photographs are new from time to time.
