One thing I learned is that I had photographs that were very contemporary in their scope that I didn’t print. At the time, I didn’t think they were worthy. What’s great about looking at your work is the emotion comes back. The emotion comes back. The rhythm of what you were photographing comes back. It’s almost like a musical score. You can see where I may have quit too soon, or stayed too long.
