A long time ago....
I am faced with a nagging dilemma; whether to post process my previous work with the new techniques I have learned during the past year (give them some pop) or just let the older shots stay as they are. I find myself very much wanting to solely work on the new sessions rather than to try to wade twice in that stream. Hell, nothing wrong with laziness either but when I look at them now, I keep thinking- "the black points, exposure, curves, etc. are all off," and it annoys the hell out of me. This annoyance is why I rarely post in this journal and have avoided updating my site. Shrug...we'll see if the annoyance is great enough to cause me to redo 3 years worth of shots. Ten years from now, it might do me good to see the changes time has wrought.
For now, these poorly processed shots are of JHM. I worked with her at least 2 years ago. I remember her damned fondly as she was a trooper- the morning we shot it was bitterly cold and she never complained; actually insisted I keep going at one point. In these particular shots we were in an alleyway, the wind had picked up heading southwest, having no outlet it would smack into the wall where she stood and go straight up and out. It produced quite a few Marilyn Monroe~ish shots which had us both doubled over with laughter. I don't know if JHM is still modeling, I doubt it...but she was one of the best.
