Outtakes
I’ve been wandering around Red Hook for the last month or so, shooting some night images just to see if anything interesting comes up. I got back a big batch of film yesterday, and most of the photos look like this:
Which is perfectly fine. I kept going, and found a few more that I liked:
They’re all nice enough, but I got the feeling that I wasn’t really connecting with anything… I don’t think these photos lead anywhere exciting.
I shuffled the images around in Lightroom for a little while and something finally hit. Three of the thirty-or-so photos I took last month contain a seed of an idea that feels interesting and needs to be explored further. Now that I see it, those three stick out from the rest like a sore thumb; they look nothing like the photos above. It’s too early to say anything except that I’m excited again, after what feels like a long summer of aimlessness.
