Tonight's Streetlight turned out to be very reflective and inspirational. We've been taking these pictures for a few weeks now, and I admit to not being sold on my own outcomes, to envying the work of others.
Steve and Jan, our light in this darkness, encouraged us to take our pictures from last week, and start to put together a theme. To explain why we were taking the pictures we were taking. I will admit to finding an explanation hard, with the undeniable urge to retake all my pictures and make them about something.
The cruelest thing Steve and Jan asked us to do, was to take away all of the pictures apart from three. These pictures had to represent 'our work', work that we would be proud of and have confidence in. Again I found this tough, wanting to curse Steve and Jan, but by the end of the evening I appreciated the point of the exercise.
After picking three photographs we had to write about our theme, why we had taken these pictures. The introduction of the written word the mass of random photos on the indisctint theme of journey's strange thoughts on the philosophy of what I'd been doing, perhaps even insight into the psychological/subconscious influences on my choice of theme.
