An issue I ran into quite a bit when using digital cameras, that no longer occurs nearly as often with film, is overshooting. Clicking away at the shutter because, hey, digital files are practically free, so why not? And while neither of us can fault people from doing such things, there is certainly merit in learning to slow down and take into deeper consideration what you want from a photograph, from a composition. Perhaps one of the downsides to working with film, and not producing so much work each year, is the difficulty in making collections of photographs, whether to display on your website or in an eBook. Collections such as these can be fantastic ways to organize and display your work, though it brings difficulties such as how well the images pair with one another, between color, tonality, and subject matter. All of this leads us to discussing success - a common theme, these past few weeks - and how the pressure to be successful has changed from when Ben was young, compared to what I now face in my mid-twenties.
