En Route Discovery
For some reason there are a bunch of Vietnam images that I recovered from a accidently formatted compact flash card on my laptop. It's like a little treasure of forgotten photos that were under my nose, unnoticed for over a year.
On the way to Los Angeles I took a look at what was actually there. It was the first time I'd looked through any of the hundreds of images. It was somewhat informative to look at images I shot so long ago and in such a different context. While I've been doing a lot of looking back for my portfolio lately, this was different. I could look at my process more critically and see how I might do things differently next time. I spent time seeing my decisions adapt with each frame. I could see what was working and what wasn't. Six hours of uninterrupted time to just look at and play with my photos was an a rare indulgence.
It's not all good news. I lost four 1GB compact flash cards yesterday. I couldn't find them before I left so it looks like I'll be dropping a few hundred bucks tomorrow.
Take pictures.
