I’ve had contact from a model – perhaps to do some pictures together. She wanted to see more of my photographs – and I found myself wondering,”What I should show her? Do I delve into the mists of time with photographs – like this one? Or do I only show the most recent?”

Although photography is something you do, you are always dealing with photos you have taken (the past).  In striving to be more “professional”, I have become more proficient – slick – but I like the pictures less and less.  People talk about control and flexibility, but in the striving for perfection, something seems to get lost.
