Last week my article was about not deleting imperfect images because the advancement of technology for art and photography might make some of those images useful in the future.

Well, I decided to take my own advice and had a look through some of my old files in storage. The result was a 5-part black and and white series of winter images, all in portrait format. Landscapes aren’t something I generally do in portrait format, but I found this series to be just what I was looking for.

I have a 3-part cast aluminum screen with arched tops and places for nine 8X10 images. I bought it as a way to display my work and for the past couple of years, it’s only had 3 images in it. I specifically wanted black and white images; in particular landscapes. Because the image space has a portrait orientation I’ve had a difficult time choosing images to place in it.

I was thoroughly delighted to come across these old shots - especially since I realized that technology had indeed advanced over the last 4 years to a point where I could make something good from these originals.

Sometimes it pays to listen to advice…even your own.
