Monthly: July 2007

Wow. Picking 30 gets harder and harder; so hard that I gave up on trying to go under 40 this time. (Mind you, that's 40 down from 200-someodd.) 40 is a hard limit, because I'm printing these out and filing them in clairefontaine journal/albums with forty slots.

Not that everything I shoot, or even everything that I kept in the 40 remaining, is necessarily super-awesome, but for one reason or another, it's difficult to exclude enough.

Why would I not exclude something that's not super-awesome? I give preference to techniques or subjects I don't normally use, quirkyness, and pictures I worked unusually hard to get. So, for example, there was no way I wasn't going to include the feral rabbit posing like Playboy bunny, even though it isn't technically particularly good.

That said, I'm fairly proud of most of these images -- some of these bird shots are closer, sharper, and better-composed than anything I've done before, bird-wise; others are very happy accidents, such as the shadow/leaf image that I'm calling, "Gap-toothed smile."
