Comments on: Reworking the claim http://meanderingpassage.com/2009/08/17/reworking-the-claim/ Life is seldom simple so we must make sense of the twist and turns Fri, 19 Mar 2010 16:18:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Ove http://meanderingpassage.com/2009/08/17/reworking-the-claim/comment-page-1/#comment-28764 Ove Tue, 18 Aug 2009 07:41:26 +0000 http://meanderingpassage.com/2009/08/17/reworking-the-claim/#comment-28764 Oh yes, that's a finding, absolutely top class picture. What colours, and what depth! The woods in the background look very dramatic with its steep hillside, thanks to the long lens. You couldn't guess the water is so cold seeing the warm colours on the nearest shore. I have dug into my drawer too, as you noticed, and will keep posting my findings for a while. It's kind of contemplative, and starts the thinking process in another way than when the picture is fresh, right from the camera. With some perspective the pictures get more mature, as a good wine Mark wrote. But it's not only the picture that grows, it's your mind too. I look forward to more of this!

I do a strict culling when I first import photos and I'm sure I've gotten rid of some that had possibilities. Oh well, I'll just have to make some more. ;-) @Anita: It’s exciting finding a photo you like where before their seemed to be nothing–the return of the prodigal “photo,” was lost and is now found.

So many images need to age a bit, just like wine. What a great gem to find. So many images need to age a bit, just like wine.

Gorgeous light and a lovely balancing act between total peace and just the right amount of tension. This is what makes me anxious about cleaning up old folders. Often, I am tempted to be ruthless and throw away a number of files that have never been processed, then someone shows an example of why it pays to take some time. I certainly have learned that photos I would have ditched at one time (had I been more "disciplined"), now appeal to me. When I discover a winner in one of those old folders, I am grateful that I don't casually hit that delete button. This claim certainly hadn’t yet played out.
